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 Etisalat by e&

Etisalat by e& is a mobile network operator in Egypt and part of e& (Emirates Telecommunications Group). The registry records one confirmed mobile ASN for it, AS36992, held by Etisalat Misr. Its network code is MCC 602 with MNC 03, and it runs 4G LTE and 5G service.

The registry holds one autonomous system for this operator, AS36992, registered to Etisalat Misr and documented in a mobile role. At the last probe the ASN was announced in the global routing table with 1,931 IPv4 prefixes and 1,707 IPv6 prefixes, so its IPv6 footprint sits close to its IPv4 one. PeeringDB carries a record for the same number under the name ETISALAT MISR, with E& Egypt as an alternate name and etisalat.com.eg as the network website.

An address whose origin ASN is AS36992 is routed by Etisalat by e&. Because the registry documents that ASN in a mobile role, such an address is a reasonable candidate for cellular traffic, but one ASN can carry a mobile core alongside fixed lines and corporate circuits. Origin ASN identifies who routes the address, not the access technology behind it, so treat AS36992 as a starting point and confirm the access type from other evidence before you act on it.

Research note. AS36992 (as-name ETISALAT-MISR, org ORG-EM1-AFRINIC; PeeringDB id 10199 name 'ETISALAT MISR', aka 'E& Egypt', website etisalat.com.eg; 3,574 prefixes per bgp.he.net). AS37031 (MISR Information Services and Trading) and AS328553 (Bank Misr) rejected as unrelated companies sharing the word 'Misr'. Brand now 'e& Egypt'; official site eand.com.eg (www.etisalat.eg also resolves). Operator homepage does not mention 4G/5G; Wikipedia MNC table lists LTE 1800 / 5G 2500 for MNC 03; Wikipedia article says e& was first with 4G in Egypt. Ownership: e& 66% (Emirates) per Wikipedia (list page gives 76%).

Questions

What is Etisalat by e&'s ASN?
The registry records one confirmed ASN, AS36992, whose RIPE holder name is Etisalat Misr. It is documented in a mobile role and was announced in the global routing table at the last probe, with PeeringDB listing the same network as ETISALAT MISR.
What is the MCC/MNC of Etisalat by e&?
Etisalat by e& uses MCC 602 with MNC 03. MCC 602 is the mobile country code assigned to Egypt, and MNC 03 identifies this operator's network inside it. The registry records no second MCC/MNC pair for the operator.
Is an IP from AS36992 a mobile IP?
AS36992 is documented in a mobile role, so an address originating there is plausibly cellular. That is not proof. The same ASN can also route fixed and business connections, and the origin ASN by itself does not tell you which access network a given address sits on.

Where Etisalat by e& meets other networks

PeeringDB records Etisalat by e& as a participant at internet exchanges in one city. Each city page lists the exchanges there and the other networks present.

ASN and prefix data describe how the operator's networks are registered and announced. They do not identify an individual subscriber or where a device is, since carriers route traffic from many areas through shared gateways.
