Movistar · Ecuador
Movistar is the mobile brand of Otecel S.A. in Ecuador, an operator owned by Millicom. The registry records one autonomous system for it, AS19114, held by Otecel S.A. and documented as carrying the mobile network. Its network code is MCC 740 with MNC 00, 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 Movistar
The registry holds a single autonomous system for Movistar Ecuador, AS19114, whose holder record names Otecel S.A. and whose role is documented as mobile. At the last probe it was announcing routes, with 45 IPv4 prefixes and 45 IPv6 prefixes, the same count in each address family. PeeringDB lists the network under the name Otecel and leaves its network type blank, so the routing data is the only description the registry has of what this address space carries.
An address whose origin ASN is 19114 is routed by Otecel, the company behind the Movistar brand in Ecuador, and the documented mobile role means the operator's mobile network is the expected source of that traffic. This is the only ASN the registry holds for the operator, so fixed and business services would sit in the same address space. Treat the ASN as identifying the operator, and confirm the access technology from evidence outside the routing data.
Research note. Legal entity OTECEL S.A. No asn.txt candidate was supplied; AS19114 found via search and confirmed: RIPEstat holder 'Otecel S.A.', PeeringDB name 'Otecel' aka 'Telefónica Ecuador' (website field still telefonica.com.ec), 90 announced prefixes. ipinfo classifies it consumer ISP without an explicit Mobile tag; role set to mobile because Otecel is the licensed mobile operator (MNC 740/00) and this is its only ASN. Ownership: Telefónica sold Otecel to Millicom; Telecompaper reports the USD 380m deal closed 31 Oct 2025 (Telesemana/Infobae report the Movistar brand is to be replaced by Tigo, but movistar.com.ec still operated under the Movistar brand with '© 2026 Movistar' when fetched). Generations: coverage map page states 'cobertura ... en las tecnologías 4G LTE, 3G y 2G'; /5g page states '#Movistar5G es la evolución de la red móvil que conocías con 4G LTE', available in sectors of Quito and Guayaquil.
