MAC address vendor

Aava Mobile Oy MAC prefix: vendor identification only

Primary prefix
70:2F:97
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Aava Mobile is registered to MAC prefix 70:2F:97 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 70:2F:97, that block was registered by Aava Mobile — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
The 24-bit prefix 70:2F:97 fixes the first octet's Group and Local bits at 0. It leaves 24 suffix bits, allowing 16,777,216 possible suffix values; that is address-space capacity, not a device or shipment count. A matching prefix identifies the registry assignment only.

A MAC address beginning 70:2F:97 matches the IEEE MA-L assignment to Aava Mobile Oy. The assignment identifies the registry entry; the supplied records do not establish a device category, product, or deployment for this prefix.

This is a 24-bit prefix, so it fixes the first three octets of a 48-bit MAC address and leaves 24 suffix bits. There are 16,777,216 possible suffix values, which is a mathematical address-space count, not a count of devices or shipments.

For this prefix, the first octet 70 has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0. RFC 7042 identifies these as the Group and Local bits in the initial octet of an EUI-48. These values follow from the literal prefix 70:2F:97; changing either bit changes the prefix. A match alone does not establish the address's actual use or safety.
