lifecell · Ukraine
lifecell is a mobile operator in Ukraine, majority owned by NJJ Holding. The registry records one ASN for it, AS34058, registered to Limited Liability Company lifecell under the name LIFECELL-AS and documented as the mobile network. Its MCC/MNC is 255-06.
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 lifecell
One ASN is recorded for lifecell, AS34058, with the documented mobile role. It is announcing, and at the last probe it originated 167 IPv4 prefixes against 4 IPv6 prefixes. Its RIPE object names Datagroup, AS3326, and RETN, AS9002, as upstreams and places the network at the GigaNET-IX, DTEL-IX and 1-IX exchanges. No second ASN is recorded for the operator, so the whole of its documented address space sits behind this one number.
An address whose origin ASN is AS34058 is routed by lifecell, and the registry documents that number as the mobile network. Since the operator has only the one recorded ASN, mobile and any other traffic it carries share the same origin, so the number identifies the operator rather than the access type. The IPv6 count is small next to the IPv4 count, so nearly all of what lifecell originates is IPv4. An address seen from this ASN belongs to lifecell's network, but the ASN alone does not settle what the subscriber behind it is using.
