About this network

WESTEL-1 is the AS of Navigata Communications Limited, a Canadian carrier and competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) offering voice, data, and internet services to business customers.

What it's used for

• Carrier services across Canada — internet access, business voice and hosted PBX, and data connectivity. AS5071 announces roughly 39,000 IPv4 addresses.

Notable

• Unlike many low ASNs in this range, this one is genuinely old: ARIN's registration for AS5071 dates to June 1995. The WESTEL handle comes from Westel, the telecom business that traces back to BC Rail's telecommunications operations.
• The Canadian CLEC market is a small field of independents competing against the incumbent carriers, and Navigata has been one of the long-running names in it.
