Orange ASN, MCC/MNC and IP prefixes

Orange is a mobile network operator in France, part of Orange S.A. It routes traffic through 4 autonomous systems (AS3215, AS2278, AS2300, AS5511), which announced 1,688 prefixes at our last probe, and its SIMs carry MCC/MNC 208-01, 208-02.

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 Orange

Orange is the mobile operator in France run by Orange S.A. The registry marks AS3215 as the autonomous system carrying its mobile network and records three more against the same group, one of them announcing nothing. Its network codes are MCC 208 with MNC 01 and MNC 02, and it runs 4G LTE and 5G.

The registry holds four autonomous systems for Orange in France. AS3215 is the consumer network and the one documented as carrying mobile; at the last probe it announced 924 IPv4 prefixes against 45 IPv6 prefixes, the widest of the four. AS5511, Opentransit, is Orange's international IP transit and wholesale backbone rather than a consumer network, and announced 701 IPv4 prefixes against 14 IPv6. AS2278, OrangeLabs, announced 3 IPv4 prefixes and 1 IPv6. AS2300, Orange-IPX, announced no prefixes. The probe returned no PeeringDB name or network type for any of the four.

An address whose origin ASN is 3215 is routed by Orange's consumer network in France, which is where its mobile traffic sits, though fixed subscribers share that autonomous system and no source separates them, so the origin ASN alone does not make an address mobile. An address originating in AS5511 belongs to transit and wholesale infrastructure. For AS2278 and AS2300 the registry documents no role, so an address there could be mobile, fixed or enterprise, and the ASN does not answer the question.

Research note. AS3215 is registered in PeeringDB as 'Orange France' (type Cable/DSL/ISP) and in RIPEstat as 'AS3215 Orange S.A.', announced; it is the consumer AS for Orange France (fixed and mobile share it; no source splits mobile out). AS5511 is Opentransit, Orange's international IP transit/wholesale backbone (PeeringDB type NSP), not consumer. AS2278 (OrangeLabs) is announced; AS2300 (Orange-IPX) is not announced per RIPEstat; roles not stated by any source. The remaining candidates 2279-2309 and 2340-2347 ('FRANCE-TELECOM-AS' / OCB / OCNB) were not verified and are omitted. Orange is the group itself (Orange S.A., orange.com); the Wikipedia infobox lists the French state (APE) as 23% shareholder. MNC rows dropped: 208-29 belongs to Cubic Telecom France (MVNO), 208-32 is listed as withdrawn, 208-91 as not operational. 208-02 is Orange's 'Zones Blanches' code. Orange's 5G page states 5G launched December 2020 and that 5G handsets fall back to 4G; reseaux.orange.fr quotes 'La 5G Orange, un réseau 3 fois plus rapide que la 4G'. orange.fr homepage and orange.com corporate pages did not render for fetching.

Questions

What is Orange France's ASN?
The registry records four autonomous systems for Orange S.A.: AS3215, documented as carrying the mobile network; AS5511, the Opentransit international transit backbone; AS2278, OrangeLabs; and AS2300, Orange-IPX, which announced no prefixes at the last probe. AS3215 is the French consumer network.
What is the MCC/MNC of Orange France?
The registry records two rows, both under MCC 208, the country code for France: MNC 01 and MNC 02. A handset on the main Orange network reports 208-01. MNC 02 is Orange's Zones Blanches code for shared coverage in sparsely served areas.
Is an IP from AS3215 a mobile IP?
It can be. AS3215 is the Orange France ASN the registry documents as carrying mobile, and with 924 IPv4 prefixes at the last probe it is the widest the operator holds, but fixed broadband runs through it too. The ASN tells you the operator, not the connection type.

Where Orange meets other networks

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.
