Korek Telecom · Iraq
Korek Telecom is a mobile network operator in Iraq, and the registry records no parent group for it. Two ASNs are registered to Korek Telecom Company for Communications LLC, with AS59625 confirmed as the ASN carrying the mobile network. Korek's mobile country and network codes are MCC 418 with MNC 40.
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 Korek Telecom
The registry holds two autonomous system numbers registered to Korek Telecom Company for Communications LLC. AS59625 is the confirmed mobile ASN and announced 9 IPv4 prefixes against 7 IPv6 prefixes at the last probe, a close split between the two address families. AS211145 is registered to the same company but announced no prefixes and has no documented role. Neither ASN has a PeeringDB record in the registry, so there is no network type or peering profile recorded for either. The registry lists 4G LTE as the network generation for Korek.
An address whose origin ASN is AS59625 is routed by Korek Telecom, and that is the ASN the registry documents as carrying the mobile network. AS211145 announced nothing at the last probe, so no live address should trace back to it. Even within AS59625 the registry does not separate mobile subscribers from fixed or enterprise customers, so an address there could be any of the three and the origin ASN alone does not settle how it reaches the network.
Research note. No parent group: controlling shareholder Sirwan Barzani; Orange S.A. acquired a 20% indirect stake in 2011 via Iraq Telecom Ltd with Agility (Wikipedia). Neither ASN has a PeeringDB record; RIPEstat shows AS59625 announced=true, AS211145 announced=false. Candidate row 418-82 dropped: not present in the Wikipedia MNC table (only 418-40 listed for Korek). 3G launched 2015 (Wikipedia); 4G stated on Arabic Wikipedia only, operator site pages fetched contained no text. English Wikipedia reports the CMC ordered seizure of Korek assets in August 2026, so operating status may have changed.
