AS610
Operated by AS-HERE-US1 - HERE North America LLC.
Summary
- // analyst note
- Registered/active at ARIN (2009-07-22) but BGP-dormant since ~2015-03; zero current announcements, zero peers, empty customer cone across all four routing sources checked. Historical peers AS3356/AS3549 predate the network going dark.
- // security note
- NEUTRAL/DATED: no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-16 in Spamhaus ASN-DROP, NANOG archives, or general threat-intel search.
About this ASN.
AS610 is an ARIN-registered autonomous system number held by HERE North America LLC, the U.S. operating entity of HERE Technologies, a digital mapping and location-data platform whose corporate lineage traces back through Nokia's former NAVTEQ business. ARIN RDAP records the autnum's top-level registration event as 2009-07-22, with the record last changed 2022-10-17 and status Active. Despite that active registry status, AS610 has not been visible in the global BGP routing table since around March 2015: every routing source consulted (RIPEstat, CAIDA AS Rank, Hurricane Electric's BGP Toolkit, bgp.tools) independently agrees it currently announces zero IPv4 and zero IPv6 prefixes, has an empty customer cone, and carries a CAIDA AS Rank of 79,459 near the bottom of the global table — consistent with a dormant, registered-but-unrouted legacy ASN. Historically it briefly announced 205.175.251.0/24 starting 2000-09-04 and last announced 8.19.98.0/24 around 2015-03. No PeeringDB entry exists, and no notable public abuse signal (Spamhaus ASN-DROP, NANOG archives, general threat-intel search) was found tied to AS610 as of 2026-07-16; a single historical "announces bogons" flag on Hurricane Electric's page appears to be a stale artifact from before the AS went dark and could not be corroborated against any live blocklist.
- Operator / registrant
- HERE North America LLC (ARIN org handle NAVIGA-7), part of the HERE Technologies corporate group (parent/holding entities HERE Global B.V. and HERE International B.V., Netherlands) [Confirmed for registrant entity; Likely for parent-group framing] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/610, https://www.here.com/en-gb/terms/here-technologies-companies
- Country / RIR
- US, ARIN [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/610
- Allocated date
- 2009-07-22 (ARIN RDAP autnum top-level "registration" event) [Confirmed — corroborated independently by three research angles] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/610
- Org status
- Active in ARIN RDAP. HERE Technologies is privately held (not publicly traded); secondary sources describe a 2015–2020 shareholder group including Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Bosch, Continental, Intel Capital, Mitsubishi, NTT, and Pioneer, but no current (2025–2026) ownership disclosure was found — treat post-2020 ownership as unverified[Likely, dated] — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Technologies, https://www.here.com/about/press-releases/2018-04-01-0

- https://www.here.com [Confirmed]
Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)
no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-16 in Spamhaus ASN-DROP, NANOG archives, or general threat-intel search; a "announces bogons" flag on bgp.he.net appears tied to a stale pre-2015 snapshot and is not corroborated as current
Network & routing
- Network type
- enterprise/corporate infrastructure supporting HERE's mapping and location-data services (automotive-grade maps, navigation, logistics/mobility data), not a conventional transit ISP or IXP peer [Likely, inferred from HERE's stated business rather than an explicit operator statement about AS610] — https://www.here.com/company/about-us
- Routing status
- dormant — 0 IPv4 and 0 IPv6 prefixes currently announced; not visible in the global BGP table since ~2015-03-01/09 (sources disagree by a few days); first seen announcing 2000-09-04 (205.175.251.0/24), last seen 2015-03-09 (8.19.98.0/24) [Confirmed — RIPEstat, CAIDA, bgp.he.net, bgp.tools all agree] — https://bgp.he.net/AS610, https://bgp.tools/as/610
- CAIDA AS Rank / customer cone
- rank 79459; cone = singleton (1 ASN, 0 prefixes, 0 addresses) [Confirmed] — https://asrank.caida.org/asns/610
- Upstreams / peers
- none currently observed; historically (pre-2015) AS3356 (Level 3) and AS3549 (Level 3/GBLX) appeared as peers in bgp.he.net's archive [Confirmed for historical record, not current] — https://bgp.he.net/AS610
- Peering policy / PeeringDB
- no PeeringDB network record exists (peeringdb.com/asn/610 returns 404); ARIN lists a peering contact (peering@here.com, POC HERE-IPADMIN) but no published open/selective/restrictive policy [Confirmed absence; Likely characterization] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/610
- RPKI
- not assessable — AS610 announces no prefixes, so there are no ROAs to validate [Confirmed] — RIPEstat rpki-validation API (skipped: no prefix supplied)
- Geo footprint
- registrant/HQ Chicago, IL, US (425 W Randolph St); secondary NOC contact in Helsinki, Finland [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/610
