Viva · Bolivia
Viva is the brand of Nuevatel PCS de Bolivia S.A., a Bolivian mobile network operator owned by Balesia Technologies at 71.5 percent and COMTECO at 28.5 percent. AS28024 carries its mobile network and the registry confirms that role. Viva holds MCC 736 with MNC 01, and 4G LTE is listed.
Autonomous systems
Holder names and prefix counts come from the RIPE NCC's RIPEstat Data API, fetched on 2026-09-06. Role and confidence come from the evidence linked in each row; "confirmed" means a PeeringDB or RIPEstat record, or the operator's own site, names the operator.
Mobile network codes
The MCC identifies the country and the MNC identifies the operator inside it. Together they appear in the IMSI of every SIM on the network and in device diagnostics; they are how a handset knows which network it is on.
About Viva
One ASN stands against Viva's name in the registry, AS28024, held by Nuevatel PCS de Bolivia S.A. and confirmed in a mobile role. At the last probe it announced 47 IPv4 prefixes against 3 IPv6 prefixes, a much smaller address footprint than the other Bolivian operators recorded here and an IPv6 presence that barely registers. PeeringDB names the network Nuevatel PCS de Bolivia and holds no network type for it.
An address whose origin ASN is AS28024 is routed by Viva. The registry documents the mobile role, so a match places the address on Viva's network, and with only 47 IPv4 prefixes announced the space involved is narrow. The registry does not break AS28024 down by service, so an address inside it could be mobile, fixed or enterprise, and the origin ASN alone does not settle which. No other ASN is recorded for Viva.
Research note. Legal name Empresa de Telecomunicaciones Nuevatel PCS de Bolivia S.A. (site footer: 'Nuevatel PCS de Bolivia'). AS28024 confirmed by RIPEstat holder and bgp.he.net website viva.com.bo; PeeringDB 429-rate-limited, not checked. Ownership per en.wikipedia (Balesia bought Trilogy's 71.5% on 2022-03-28; regulator later disputed the sale). No 5G offering found on operator site; only 'soon' plans in press. viva.com.bo does not state generations explicitly (links an LTE PDF), so 4G cited from mcc-mnc.org (LTE1700).
Checking whether an IP belongs to Viva
