MAC address vendor

3S System Technology Inc. MAC Prefix A8:55:6A: Vendor identified; device type unknown

Primary prefix
A8:55:6A
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
3S System Technology is registered to MAC prefix A8:55:6A in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with A8:55:6A, that block was registered by 3S System Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
The company profile reports its founding in 2006, entry into physical security in 2010, ONVIF membership in 2011, and full membership in 2023. These company-level facts do not map products to this prefix.

A MAC address beginning A8:55:6A matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to 3S System Technology Inc.; the prefix alone does not identify a device type or prove who deployed it. The company lists its headquarters in Taiwan and describes products for smart security surveillance, AI video analysis, and video management. Its ONVIF profile says it began in cloud services and software development, entered physical security in 2010, and joined ONVIF in 2011, becoming a full member in 2023.

This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values within the matching block, not a count of devices or shipments. The first-byte Group bit and Local bit are both zero for this literal prefix. Turning either bit on changes the prefix and therefore does not match this exact assignment. RFC 7042 explains the structure and interpretation of EUI-48 prefixes and these bits.

A matching capture supports a registry-assignment match only. It cannot establish a particular product, operating system, current company identity, or security status. In its May 17, 2024 member profile, ONVIF describes 3S as providing smart security surveillance products, AI video analysis, and video management software and systems; the profile does not map those products to this prefix.
