About this network

AUREON-5056 — Aureon Network Services, formerly Iowa Network Services (and still trading as netINS for internet services), a West Des Moines carrier that provides statewide network services to Iowa's independent telephone companies.

What it's used for

• Wholesale transport and IP transit sold to regional telcos, ISPs, CLECs, and municipal broadband networks across Iowa.
• Internet access under the netINS brand, with address space sub-allocated downstream — so a good share of its ~291,000 addresses ultimately lands on end-user broadband connections served by member carriers.

Notable

• A carrier's carrier: the network exists to aggregate and backhaul for other providers, which is why its address holdings dwarf those of any single Iowa telco.

Interesting

• The company began as the Iowa Switch Company in 1988, formed after the Bell System breakup so that Iowa's independent telcos could reach long-distance carriers, and became the first Centralized Equal Access provider in the United States.
• ARIN registered AS5056 in 1995.
