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 Romania

Orange Romania is a mobile operator in Romania and part of Orange Group (Orange S.A.), which holds 80 percent of the consolidated entity. AS8953, registered as ASN-ORANGE-ROMANIA, is the ASN the registry records as carrying its mobile network. Two further ASNs are held by the company. Its MCC/MNC is 226-10.

The registry records three ASNs held by Orange Romania S.A. AS8953 is the one documented as carrying the mobile network; it announced 30 IPv4 prefixes and a single IPv6 prefix at the last probe, and PeeringDB names it Orange Romania S.A (AS8953) with the network type Cable/DSL/ISP. AS9050, recorded as fixed and known in PeeringDB as the former Romtelecom and Telekom Romania Communications network, announced 80 IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix at the last probe and is typed NSP. AS24745 is the Balcan-IX route-server AS and announced no prefixes.

An address whose origin ASN is AS8953 is routed by Orange Romania on the ASN the registry ties to its mobile network, so a mobile reading of such an address has support beyond the number itself. An address originating from AS9050 sits on the fixed and wholesale side. AS24745 has no documented role and announces nothing, so no end-user address originates there. The thin IPv6 footprint on both announcing ASNs means most Orange Romania traffic a classifier meets arrives over IPv4.

Research note. MNC 226/10 (brand Orange, operator Orange România, operational; GSM 900 / LTE 800/1800/2100/2600 / 5G 2100/3500; UMTS shut down Dec 2025) per Wikipedia MNC table and mcc-mnc.org. Candidate rows 226/06 and 226/04 dropped: they belong to Telekom Romania Mobile (ex Zapp/Cosmote) and are listed 'Not operational'; Orange acquired only the fixed-line Telekom Romania Communications (merged 1 Jun 2024 as Orange Romania Communications), not the mobile arm. AS8953 (as-name ASN-ORANGE-ROMANIA, 31 announced prefixes; PeeringDB net 12568 'Orange Romania S.A (AS8953)', website orange.ro, type Cable/DSL/ISP) is Orange Romania's own AS and the one carrying the consumer/mobile network. AS9050 (RTD; PeeringDB net 1682 notes 'Formerly known as Romtelecom and Telekom Romania Communications', type NSP, 81 prefixes) is the ex-Romtelecom fixed/wholesale network. AS24745 (Balcan-IX) is an internet-exchange route-server AS held by Orange Romania, announces no prefixes. Operator site states 5G ('Fast Track 5G+', 'Everyday 5G'); 4G LTE bands per Wikipedia MNC table / mcc-mnc.org. Other candidates (Digi, Vodafone, Euroweb, banks etc.) are unrelated companies.

Questions

What is Orange Romania's ASN?
The registry records three confirmed ASNs held by Orange Romania S.A. AS8953 (ASN-ORANGE-ROMANIA) carries the mobile network, AS9050 (RTD) is the fixed and wholesale network inherited from Romtelecom, and AS24745 (Balcan-IX) is a route-server AS that announces no prefixes.
What is the MCC/MNC of Orange Romania?
Orange Romania uses MCC 226, the country code for Romania, with MNC 10, written together as 226-10. That is the only MCC/MNC pair the registry records for the operator, and it is the identifier a handset reports while attached to this network.
Is an IP from AS8953 a mobile IP?
AS8953 is the ASN the registry documents as carrying Orange Romania's mobile network, so an address originating there is more likely mobile than one from the operator's other ASNs. PeeringDB types the network Cable/DSL/ISP, so the ASN can still route consumer traffic that is not mobile.

Where Orange Romania 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.
