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 Vodafone Spain

Vodafone Spain is a Spanish operator owned by Zegona Communications and trading under the Vodafone brand. The registry records AS12430, registered to Vodafone España, as the ASN carrying its mobile network, with AS3273, AS6739, AS16338 and AS12357 recorded as fixed-network ASNs. Its MCC/MNC codes are 214-01, 214-06 and 214-37.

The registry lists five ASNs for Vodafone Spain. AS12430, the one recorded as carrying mobile traffic, had 44 IPv4 prefixes against 3 IPv6 prefixes at the last probe, and PeeringDB names it Vodafone España under the Cable/DSL/ISP type. On the fixed side, AS6739, an ONO registration, announced 68 IPv4 prefixes against a single IPv6 prefix, and AS12357, Comunitel, announced 17 IPv4 prefixes and no IPv6, with a PeeringDB record under the name COMUNITEL. The other two ONO registrations, AS3273 and AS16338, are not announced.

An address whose origin ASN is one of these five is routed by Vodafone Spain. The mobile role on AS12430 has no operator document behind it, since nothing published separates the company's mobile customers from its fixed ones on that ASN, and PeeringDB files the network under a fixed-line type. An address there could be mobile, fixed or enterprise. Addresses from the ONO and Comunitel registrations sit on the fixed side of the business. The origin ASN alone does not identify a mobile connection.

Research note. Vodafone Spain was sold by Vodafone Group to Zegona Communications plc on 31 May 2024 (vodafone.com newsroom, LSE RNS); the Vodafone brand continues in Spain under a brand licence. AS12430 VODAFONE_ES: PeeringDB name 'Vodafone España', website vodafone.es, RIPE mnt-by AIRTELNET-MNT (Airtel = the original Vodafone Spain mobile licence holder); no operator page explicitly separates mobile from fixed, so the 'mobile' role is inferred from the AS being the main Vodafone España AS. AS12357 COMUNITEL (former fixed-line operator, PeeringDB record present) and AS6739/AS3273/AS16338 ONO (cable, 'Vodafone ONO AS' in RIPE whois) are fixed-network ASes; AS3273 and AS16338 are not announced per RIPEstat.

MNC: 214-01 main Vodafone network (GSM/LTE/5G; UMTS shut down Oct 2024); 214-06 MVNO/reseller code (Lowi, Lebara, Hits); 214-37 registered to Vodafone Spain with status 'Unknown' on Wikipedia. Generations: vodafone.es coverage map states '5G / 4G+ / 4G Tecnologías disponibles según zona', '99% de la población con cobertura 4G'; press release targets 90% population 5G in 2025.

Questions

What is Vodafone Spain's ASN?
AS12430, registered to Vodafone España S.A.U., is the ASN the registry records as carrying the mobile network. Four more belong to the group and are recorded as fixed-network ASNs, namely AS3273, AS6739 and AS16338 under Vodafone ONO, and AS12357 under Comunitel.
What is the MCC/MNC of Vodafone Spain?
Under Spain's mobile country code of 214, the registry records 214-01 for the main Vodafone network, 214-06 as the reseller code tied to Lowi, Lebara and Hits, and 214-37, registered to Vodafone Spain with a status the registry cannot confirm.
Is an IP from AS12430 a mobile IP?
Not necessarily. AS12430 is Vodafone España's main ASN and the registry marks it as carrying mobile traffic, but no operator document separates mobile from fixed on it, and PeeringDB classifies the network as Cable/DSL/ISP. An address there could be mobile, fixed or enterprise.

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.
