AS9229 — SPEEDCAST-AP SPEEDCAST Limited
AS9229 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 768 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.
About this network
AS9229 (SPEEDCAST-AP) is held by Speedcast Limited, the satellite communications provider. Speedcast delivers connectivity to customers that terrestrial networks do not reach — ships, offshore energy platforms, remote mining and enterprise sites, and government deployments — and this AS is its Hong Kong-registered network in the APNIC region.
What it's used for
The routed footprint is small and deliberate. RIS sees 3 IPv4 prefixes, all adjacent /24s out of 203.88.80.0, carrying 768 addresses in total, with no IPv6 and 3 observed neighbours. That is a very compact estate for a company of Speedcast's operating scale, and it is a useful reminder that satellite service providers do not need large routed blocks: most of the value is in the space segment, teleports and terminals, while the IP addressing handed to a VSAT customer is often small, NAT'd, or allocated from a regional entity's own space rather than announced from a single global AS.
Three neighbours confirms this is not a transit business. The AS exists to give Speedcast's Asia-Pacific operation provider-independent address space it can announce from its own teleport connectivity, with a couple of upstreams for resilience. Speedcast operates multiple regional network entities; this is the Hong Kong one, and it should not be read as covering the company's worldwide addressing.
Notable
- Speedcast's business is remote and mobility connectivity — maritime, energy, enterprise and government — rather than fixed-line consumer or business access.
- The three /24s are contiguous and stable; there is no sign of scattered or third-party inventory in this AS.
