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 Moldova

Orange Moldova is a mobile network operator in Moldova and part of Orange Group. The registry records six autonomous systems held by the company, of which AS25454 is documented as carrying the mobile network and is the only one announcing consumer address space. Orange Moldova's network code is MCC 259 with MNC 01.

Six ASNs are registered to Orange Moldova. AS25454 is the one documented as carrying mobile, and at the last probe it announced 48 IPv4 prefixes against 32 IPv6 prefixes; PeeringDB lists it as Orange Moldova with an info type of Cable/DSL/ISP. Its RIPE database name reads Orange Moldova Fixed Network Autonomous System, and it originates the operator's consumer ranges. AS31204, the former Sun Communications network, is recorded as fixed and announced 4 IPv4 prefixes and no IPv6. AS8923, AS9152, AS35210 and AS48331 announced nothing.

An address whose origin ASN is AS25454 is routed by Orange Moldova, and it is the ASN the registry ties to the mobile network. The same ASN carries fixed subscribers, so the origin does not separate a handset from a home line by itself; an address there could be mobile, fixed or enterprise. AS31204 is recorded as fixed, and the registry does not document a role for the other four. Those four announced no prefixes, so no live address space routes from them.

Research note. Parent: about page states 'Orange Moldova este parte din Grupul Orange'. AS25454 is the only Orange Moldova ASN announcing space (RIPEstat: 48 v4 / 32 v6 prefixes) and is the BGP origin of all Orange Moldova consumer ranges (188.131.0.0/17, 46.166.0.0/18, 94.243.64.0/18, 2a00:1858::/32); its RIPE DB as-name/descr reads 'Orange Moldova Fixed Network Autonomous System' and BGP customers include MOLDCELL. AS31204 = former JV Sun Communications, route objects descr 'Fixed Network', 4 v4 prefixes, 1 neighbour. AS35210, AS8923, AS9152, AS48331 are held by Orange Moldova but announce 0 prefixes (RIPEstat); AS48331 is the former Globnet S.R.L. ISP ASN.

Questions

What is Orange Moldova's ASN?
The registry records six ASNs held by Orange Moldova. AS25454 is the one documented as carrying the mobile network and the only one announcing the operator's consumer ranges. AS31204 is recorded as fixed, while AS8923, AS9152, AS35210 and AS48331 announce no prefixes.
What is the MCC/MNC of Orange Moldova?
Orange Moldova uses MCC 259 for Moldova with MNC 01, written together as 25901. The registry holds this single pair for the operator and records no other network codes under the Orange Moldova name.
Is an IP from AS25454 a mobile IP?
Not necessarily. AS25454 is documented as carrying Orange Moldova's mobile network, but the same ASN originates the operator's fixed consumer ranges, and its RIPE database name refers to the fixed network. An address there is routed by Orange Moldova; whether it is mobile, fixed or enterprise is not settled by the ASN.

Where Orange Moldova 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.
