About this network

SatGate-Iraq — SatGate, an internet service provider based in the Karrada district of Baghdad, serving businesses and government and private institutions in Iraq.

What it's used for

• Delivering internet access to corporate, institutional, and government customers in Iraq.
• Trading in computer systems and communications equipment alongside the connectivity business — the legal entity's full name spells this out.

Notable

• Iraqi ISPs have historically leaned heavily on satellite (VSAT) capacity, since terrestrial fibre out of the country was limited and unreliable for years. Satellite links come with high latency and metered capacity, which shapes how the address space is used.
• This is a provider network serving mostly business and institutional customers, not a mass-market consumer broadband operator.

Interesting

• SatGate is a RIPE NCC Local Internet Registry, which is what lets a relatively small Iraqi operator hold and hand out its own address space rather than borrowing from an upstream.
