ABE Elettronica S.p.A. — 00:1D:7C (MA-L)

A MAC address starting with 00:1D:7C belongs to ABE Elettronica S.p.A., an Italian manufacturer of professional broadcast and telecom transmission equipment. In practice this prefix most plausibly identifies broadcast-station infrastructure — a TV/FM transmitter, a satellite-transposer link (STL) or microwave-link bridge, or a head-end encoder/multiplexer — rather than a consumer router, switch, or generic IT device.

00:1D:7C is a single MA-L (24-bit) block, not a multi-prefix vendor footprint. A cross-check of the IEEE MA-M and MA-S registries found no additional ABE Elettronica sub-allocation; the only substring hits under "ABE" belong to unrelated registrants (ZIEHL-ABEGG SE, MART NETWORK SOLUTIONS LTD, ABECO Industrie Computer GmbH, TAIYO DENON Corporation) and should not be merged into this entry.

ABE Elettronica ("Advanced Broadcasting Electronics") is a live, identifiable company founded in 1979 and headquartered in Caravaggio (BG), Italy, with an active website, a published company-profile PDF, and third-party industry and business-directory listings. Its catalogue covers TV/FM transmitters, gap-fillers and repeaters, MPEG-2 head-end encoders and multiplexers, STL/microwave-link and IP-bridge equipment up to 24 GHz, satellite uplinks, antennas, and OEM modules.

No CVEs or public security advisories were found for the company or its product lines; this is an absence-of-evidence result in a niche market with sparse public vulnerability coverage, not a confirmed clean record. IEEE's public OUI registry carries no assignment/registration date for this block, and OUI assignment is an IEEE, not IANA, construct, so no IANA reference applies.

IEEE assignment

00:1D:7C → "ABE Elettronica S.p.A.", Via Leonardo da Vinci, 92, Caravaggio (BG), IT 24043 [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (key: MA-L,001D7C,ABE Elettronica S.p.A.)

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI); a single block — no MA-M/MA-S sub-allocation for ABE Elettronica found [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-S registry, the IEEE MA-M registry

HQ / address

Caravaggio (BG), Italy; current public listings show "Via Leonardo da Vinci, 224" versus IEEE's registered "92" — same street, most likely a renumbering since original registration, not an identity conflict

Security history

no CVEs or public vulnerability advisories found for the company or its product lines (negative finding from search; niche market with sparse public CVE coverage) [Unknown] — no source (absence-of-evidence)

Related / confusable vendors

none confirmed — "ABE"-substring registry hits (ZIEHL-ABEGG SE, MART NETWORK SOLUTIONS LTD, ABECO Industrie Computer GmbH, TAIYO DENON Corporation) are unrelated companies and are not part of this vendor [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry

Registration date

Unknown — IEEE's public the IEEE MA-L registry publishes no assignment/registration date field for any OUI [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (column headers only)

IANA reference

not applicable — OUI/MAC-block assignment is an IEEE Registration Authority construct, not an IANA one [Confirmed]

Analyst note

a device presenting 00:1D:7C is most plausibly broadcast-station infrastructure (TV/FM transmitter, STL/microwave link, or head-end encoder), not consumer or general IT networking equipment [Likely] — https://www.abe.it/prodotti
