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 Polska
Five ASNs sit under Orange Polska in the registry, and all five announce address space. AS5617 (TPNET Orange Polska Spolka Akcyjna) holds the mobile role and announces 76 IPv4 prefixes against 4 IPv6 prefixes at the last probe. AS12743 (PTK-CENTERTEL), a legacy ASN from the company's mobile arm, announces a single IPv4 prefix and no IPv6. PeeringDB lists AS21395 as "Orange Polska - cPoP" with an info type of Content, and AS29535 as "Orange Polska - Internet Optimum and TPIX Route Servers", type Cable/DSL/ISP. AS33900 carries an enterprise role and one IPv4 prefix.
An address whose origin ASN is one of these five is routed by Orange Polska. AS5617 is the one the registry documents as mobile, so an address originating there sits on the network that carries Orange Polska's consumer service, which also includes fixed broadband. For AS12743, AS21395 and AS29535 the role is not documented, so an address from any of them could be mobile, fixed or enterprise, and the ASN by itself does not settle which. AS33900 is recorded as enterprise rather than mobile.
Research note. Parent: Orange S.A. holds 50.67% of share capital (orange-ir.pl/shares, as of 2026-04-10). AS5617 (TPNET, PeeringDB name 'Orange Polska - TPNET', aka TPSA/ORANGE, type Cable/DSL/ISP, 80 announced prefixes) originates the 'PTK-Centertel' prefixes (5.184.0.0/16, 31.61.128.0/21 per bgp.he.net) - PTK Centertel was Orange Polska's mobile arm - so it is the ASN carrying the consumer/mobile network; it also carries fixed broadband. AS12743 PTK-CENTERTEL is a legacy mobile-arm ASN announcing only 1 prefix (194.9.223.0/24). AS21395 cPoP = 'Content PoP' (PeeringDB type Content, 3 prefixes). AS29535 = RIPE DB descr 'ASN shared between Internet.Optimum/MIX2 Tier-2 transit service and TPIX OpenPeering routeservers' (transit/IX, not consumer). AS33900 TPSA-MPLSNET-AS: 1 prefix, MPLS/VPN by name; enterprise role inferred from as-name only. MCC/MNC: 260-03 operational (former Idea; UMTS shut down Dec 2025). Candidate 260-05 is Orange Polska but Wikipedia lists it 'Not operational / not in use, using MNC 03' - dropped. Candidates 260-11 (Polkomtel/Plus, former Nordisk Polska) and 260-90 (Polska Spolka Gazownictwa M2M) belong to other companies - rejected. Wikipedia also lists 260-40/44/46 as Orange Polska (status Unknown, ex-MVNO codes) and 260-34 NetWorkS! as the T-Mobile/Orange shared LTE network under T-Mobile Polska S.A. 5G: orange.pl/5g states 5G in C-band 3600 MHz since 2024 and 4G/5G SIM. PeeringDB for AS12743/AS33900 returns 404 (no record); AS29535 PeeringDB not retrieved (throttled).
Checking whether an IP belongs to Orange Polska
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 Orange Polska's ASN?
The registry records five confirmed ASNs for Orange Polska: AS5617, AS12743, AS21395, AS29535 and AS33900. AS5617, registered as TPNET Orange Polska Spolka Akcyjna, is the one documented as carrying the mobile network. The other four hold enterprise, content, peering or legacy roles, or none the registry can confirm.
What is the MCC/MNC of Orange Polska?
Orange Polska has one confirmed code pair in the registry: MCC 260, MNC 03. Written together that is 260-03. No other MNC is recorded as confirmed for the operator, so a device reporting 260-03 in Poland is registered on the Orange Polska network.
Is an IP from AS5617 a mobile IP?
It can be. AS5617 is the Orange Polska ASN the registry documents as carrying mobile traffic, but the same ASN also announces address space used for the company's fixed broadband. The origin ASN alone does not prove an address sits on a mobile connection.
