2M Electronic A/S — 00:1B:8A (MA-L)

A MAC address starting 00:1B:8A belongs to 2M Electronic A/S, a Danish company registered in Taastrup, near Copenhagen, whose documented business was interactive hotel guest-room video and entertainment systems. The prefix is a single IEEE MA-L (24-bit) block; no MA-M, MA-S, or additional MA-L registrations tie back to this company name in the OUI, OUI36, or MAM registries, so 2M Electronic held exactly one publicly registered block.

Founded in 1982, the company had, by 2005, supplied more than 2,500 in-room entertainment installations worldwide, representing over 450,000 hotel rooms — figures reported in trade press covering its acquisition. In May 2005, Locatel Europe Group acquired 2M Electronic; founder Benny Mieritz stayed on as CEO of 2M Electronic and became a Locatel shareholder chairing its technology committee. The same transaction gave Locatel a 45% stake in Roombase, a German hotel-communications provider.

No independent device-fingerprint or teardown source corroborates which hardware model ships with this prefix; the device class below is inferred from 2M Electronic's documented product line (in-room hospitality video/entertainment terminals), not from a hands-on identification. No CVE or documented vulnerability is recorded against 2M Electronic A/S or the 00:1B:8A prefix as of an August 2026 search.
