AS7459: the GRANDECOM-AS1 network

AS7459 is an internet Autonomous System operated by GRANDECOM-AS1 (the United States). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS7459?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS7459 was assigned to GRANDECOM-AS1 by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS7459 currently announces 219 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 1.2 million addresses (1,194,752 in all), registered in the United States. Services from GRANDECOM-AS1 are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS7459 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS7459. That means the other end sits on the GRANDECOM-AS1 network (the United States). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
