Silknet ASN, MCC/MNC and IP prefixes

Silknet is a mobile network operator in Georgia, part of Silk Road Group. It routes traffic through 3 autonomous systems (AS42082, AS15491, AS35805), which announced 56 prefixes at our last probe, and its SIMs carry MCC/MNC 282-01, 282-05, 282-08.

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 Silknet

Silknet is a mobile network operator in Georgia and part of the Silk Road Group. Its mobile network runs on AS42082, registered as GEOCELL and named for the consumer brand Geocell. The registry also holds AS35805 as fixed and AS15491 with no documented role. Silknet uses MCC 282 with MNC 01, 05 and 08.

The registry records three ASNs held by JSC Silknet. AS42082 carries the mobile network and announced three IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix at the last probe; PeeringDB names it Geocell but records no network type. AS35805 is the fixed network, with 50 IPv4 prefixes and two IPv6 prefixes announced at the last probe and a PeeringDB entry of Silknet under Cable/DSL/ISP. AS15491 is registered to Silknet, appears in PeeringDB as Wanex under the same type, and announced no prefixes at the last probe.

An address whose origin ASN is 42082 or 35805 is routed by Silknet. Origin 42082 is the mobile side, though its announced footprint is small, at three IPv4 prefixes. Origin 35805 is fixed broadband. AS15491 has no documented role in the registry, so an address routed under it could be mobile, fixed or enterprise, and the ASN alone does not settle that; it also announced nothing at the last probe, so addresses should not be seen originating from it.

Research note. Silknet's consumer mobile brand is Geocell. MCC/MNC table: 282/01 'Geocell' (Silknet, GSM/UMTS/LTE 1800/5G) is the main mobile network and was added because it belongs to Silknet; 282/05 'S1' (Silknet, CDMA 800) and 282/08 'Silk LTE' (Silknet, LTE 2300) are also listed as Silknet networks. AS42082: PeeringDB name 'Geocell', aka 'Silknet', org_id 6842; RIPE as-name GEOCELL, org ORG-UTOG1-RIPE; announced. AS35805: PeeringDB name 'Silknet', aka '35805 15491 42082', Cable/DSL/ISP; RIPE descr 'Silknet Autonomous System', 'Silknet, part of the Silk Road Group'; announced. AS15491: PeeringDB name 'Wanex', website silknet.com, same org_id 6842; RIPEstat reports NOT announced; RIPE org ORG-Wl2-RIPE (legacy Wanex acquisition, role unclear). Parent group 'Silk Road Group' is stated only in the RIPE aut-num descr for AS35805 (https://rest.db.ripe.net/ripe/aut-num/AS35805.json); not stated on silknet.com pages fetched. Generations: silknet.com/en page header reads 'Silknet - 5G High Speed Mobile, IPTV and Internet' and lists 'LTE 4.5G wireless internet' products; no dedicated 5G page found (silknet.com/en/5g and /geocell-5g resolve to the general site).

Questions

What is Silknet's ASN?
The registry records three. AS42082 carries the mobile network under the Geocell name, AS35805 carries fixed broadband, and AS15491 is registered to Silknet with no documented role and announced no prefixes at the last probe.
What is the MCC/MNC of Silknet?
Silknet holds three rows under MCC 282, the Georgian country code. MNC 01 is the Geocell mobile network, and the registry also records MNC 05 and MNC 08 for Silknet. All three come from the ITU region 2xx mobile network code table.
Is an IP from AS42082 a mobile IP?
AS42082 is recorded as Silknet's mobile ASN and carries the Geocell network, so an address originating there is routed by the mobile side of Silknet. The registry does not label individual prefixes, and AS42082 announced only three IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix at the last probe.

Where Silknet meets other networks

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

Network cities in Georgia: Tbilisi.

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.
