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.
| ASN | Holder (RIPEstat) | Role | Announced | IPv4 / IPv6 prefixes | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AS51684 | ASIACELL ASIACELL COMMUNICATIONS PJSC | Mobile network confirmed | yes | 69 / 245 | source · RIPEstat |
| AS200895 | Asiacell-3 ASIACELL COMMUNICATIONS PJSC | Role not documented confirmed | no | 0 / 0 | source · RIPEstat |
| AS215597 | Asiacell-2 ASIACELL COMMUNICATIONS PJSC | Role not documented confirmed | yes | 14 / 33 | source · RIPEstat |
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 Asiacell
The registry holds three autonomous system numbers registered to Asiacell Communications PJSC. AS51684 is the confirmed mobile ASN and announced 69 IPv4 prefixes against 245 IPv6 prefixes at the last probe, so its IPv6 footprint is the wider of the two. AS215597, recorded as Asiacell-2, was also announced, with 14 IPv4 prefixes and 33 IPv6 prefixes, and its role is not documented. AS200895, recorded as Asiacell-3, is registered to the same company but announced no prefixes. The registry holds no PeeringDB name against any of the three.
An address whose origin ASN is AS51684 is routed by Asiacell, and that ASN is the one the registry documents as carrying the mobile network. AS215597 and AS200895 belong to the same company, but the registry does not document what either carries, so an address originating from them could be mobile, fixed or enterprise. The ASN alone does not settle it. The MCC/MNC pair identifies the network on the mobile side and says nothing about which IP ranges a subscriber sits in.
Research note. Operator site asiacell.com blocked automated fetch; website taken from Wikipedia (www.asiacell.com). Ooredoo listed as parent (Arabic Wikipedia infobox; Wikipedia MEA operator list gives Ooredoo 30%). Candidate list had no MCC/MNC rows; Wikipedia MNC table lists 418-05 and 418-00 both as Asia Cell. AS51684 PeeringDB net 22226 'ASIACELL', announced; AS215597 PeeringDB net 37981 'Asiacell-2', announced; AS200895 has no PeeringDB record and RIPEstat shows announced=false. Generations left empty: 3G licence 2015 per Arabic Wikipedia, but no operator/regulator page confirming 4G/5G could be fetched.
Checking whether an IP belongs to Asiacell
Look up the origin ASN of the address and compare it with the table above. RIPEstat answers for any address, and the RADB whois mirror lists the routes registered under an ASN.

What is Asiacell's ASN?
The registry confirms AS51684 as the ASN carrying Asiacell's mobile network. Two further ASNs are registered to Asiacell Communications PJSC, AS215597 and AS200895, but the registry documents no role for either, and AS200895 announced no prefixes at the last probe.
What is the MCC/MNC of Asiacell?
Asiacell uses mobile country code 418, the code for Iraq, with mobile network code 05. The registry records a second pair, 418-00, against Asiacell as well. Both rows come from the published mobile network code tables for the region.
Is an IP from AS51684 a mobile IP?
AS51684 is the ASN the registry documents as carrying Asiacell's mobile network, so an address originating there is routed by that network. The registry does not label individual prefixes by access type, so the ASN by itself does not prove a given address is on a mobile connection rather than a fixed one.
