About this network

WATANIYATELECOM-AS is operated by Ooredoo Kuwait, formerly known as Wataniya Telecom.

What it's used for

• The address space carries mobile and broadband services, evidenced by netnames such as KW-WATANIYA-20110110, WTC-MIP-1, WTC-MIP-2, and HS-WT-2.
• With 209,920 IPv4 addresses announced across 39 prefixes and 28 observed neighbours, the ratio indicates a large access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.

Notable

• Wataniya Telecom rebranded to Ooredoo in 2014 after becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qatar Telecom (Qtel) in 2012.
• The inventory includes a mix of large /16 and /17 blocks alongside numerous smaller /21 and /22 prefixes, reflecting a subdivided corporate and access estate.
