Claro · Ecuador
Claro is the mobile operator in Ecuador run by CONECEL S.A., part of the América Móvil group. The registry records one autonomous system for it, AS23487, held by CONECEL and documented as carrying the mobile network. Its network code is MCC 740 with MNC 01, and it runs 4G LTE and 5G.
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 Claro
The registry holds a single autonomous system for Claro Ecuador, AS23487, whose holder record names CONECEL and whose role is documented as mobile. At the last probe the ASN was announcing routes, with 167 IPv4 prefixes against 16 IPv6 prefixes, so the IPv4 footprint is about ten times the IPv6 one by prefix count. PeeringDB lists the network under the name CONECEL and classifies it as a Cable/DSL/ISP network rather than a mobile-only one.
An address whose origin ASN is 23487 is routed by Claro Ecuador, and the documented mobile role means the operator's mobile network is the expected source of that traffic. The PeeringDB classification is wider than that, so an address in this space can also belong to a fixed or business service running under the same autonomous system. Read the ASN as identifying the operator, then confirm the access technology from evidence outside the routing data.

What is Claro Ecuador's ASN?
The registry records one autonomous system for Claro Ecuador, AS23487, whose holder record names CONECEL, the legal entity behind the Claro brand. It is the ASN documented as carrying the mobile network, and at the last probe it announced 167 IPv4 prefixes and 16 IPv6 prefixes.
What is the MCC/MNC of Claro Ecuador?
The registry records one network code row for Claro Ecuador: MCC 740, the country code for Ecuador, with MNC 01. A handset attached to this network reports the pair as 74001, which is how the operator is identified in signalling and in device network lists.
Is an IP from AS23487 a mobile IP?
AS23487 is the Claro Ecuador ASN documented as carrying the mobile network, so a mobile origin is likely. PeeringDB records the network as a Cable/DSL/ISP type, so the same autonomous system can also route fixed or business addresses. The ASN identifies the operator, not the access technology.
