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 |

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 Movistar
The registry lists two ASNs for Movistar. AS3352, held by Telefónica de España, is the one recorded as carrying mobile traffic, and RIPEstat shows it as announced, although the registry counted no IPv4 and no IPv6 prefixes under it at the last probe and holds no PeeringDB record for it. AS12956 belongs to Telxius, the Telefónica Global Solutions wholesale arm, and had 28 IPv4 prefixes against 3 IPv6 prefixes at the last probe. PeeringDB names that network Telxius Cable and files it under the Cable/DSL/ISP type.
An address whose origin ASN is AS3352 or AS12956 is routed by Telefónica. No operator document separates Movistar's mobile traffic from Telefónica's fixed traffic, so the mobile role on AS3352 rests on it being the group's only domestic consumer ASN in the registry rather than on a published statement. An address there could be mobile, fixed or enterprise. AS12956 is an international wholesale network with no documented role at all. The origin ASN alone does not settle what kind of connection sits behind either address.
Research note. No asn.txt candidates were supplied; AS3352 (Telefonica_de_EspaNa, org ORG-TDE1-RIPE, announced) is the Telefónica de España AS confirmed by RIPEstat as-overview/whois and bgp.he.net (website telefonica.es). No operator document was found stating which AS carries Movistar mobile vs fixed traffic, so the 'mobile' role for AS3352 rests on it being Telefónica's sole domestic consumer AS. AS12956 is Telefónica Global Solutions/Telxius (international wholesale); role not documented. PeeringDB API was throttled for AS3352/AS12956 (no record fetched). MNC 214-07 is the main Movistar network (GSM/UMTS/LTE/5G, also used by O2 Spain); 214-05 is Telefónica Móviles España MVNO/reseller code; 214-38 is registered to Telefónica Móviles España S.A.U. with status 'Unknown' on Wikipedia (ITU OB 1177). Generations: movistar.es coverage-map page is titled 'Mapa cobertura móvil 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, NB IoT y LTE-M'; Movistar blog states 5G covers >85% of population and >2,000 municipalities. Parent: telefonica.com brands page says 'Movistar for Spain and Hispanic America'.

What is Movistar's ASN?
The registry records AS3352, registered to Telefónica de España, as the ASN carrying Movistar's mobile network, and AS12956, registered to Telxius Telefónica Global Solutions, with no documented role. Both are announced. No operator document confirms which of the two carries mobile traffic specifically.
What is the MCC/MNC of Movistar?
Spain's mobile country code is 214. The registry records three Movistar codes under it. 214-07 is the main network, 214-05 is a Telefónica Móviles España reseller code, and 214-38 is registered to Telefónica Móviles España with a status the registry cannot confirm.
Is an IP from AS3352 a mobile IP?
Not necessarily. AS3352 is the Telefónica de España ASN the registry marks as carrying Movistar mobile traffic, but no operator document separates mobile from fixed on it. An address originating there belongs to Telefónica; whether the connection behind it is mobile is not decided by the ASN.
