AS5488 — BELGACOM Proximus Customer Edge-Network

AS5488 announces 11 IPv4 prefixes covering 7,168 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

BELGACOM is registered to Proximus NV, Belgium's incumbent telecom operator (Belgacom until its 2014 rebrand). The registry describes this AS specifically as the Proximus Customer Edge-Network.

What it's used for

• Address space handed to Proximus customers at the network edge rather than the operator's own consumer access or backbone plant. Reverse DNS across the ranges lands on Belgian business domains and hosted services, consistent with provider-assigned space for enterprise and SME customers.

Notable

• Proximus announces several AS numbers with different jobs. This one is the customer edge; the consumer/backbone side of the group is a separate network at AS5432. Treat AS5488 as business connectivity, not eyeball broadband.
• The Belgacom handle outlived the brand by more than a decade, a common pattern: registry handles are rarely renamed after a corporate rebrand.
