MAC address vendor

Accel Semiconductor Corp — 00:1F:81 (MA-L)

Primary prefix
00:1F:81
Block
MA-L
Status
Ceased operations

Summary

// what this is
Accel Semiconductor is registered to MAC prefix 00:1F:81 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:1F:81, that block was registered by Accel Semiconductor — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. Accel Semiconductor has ceased operations, but the registration remains on record with IEEE.
// analyst note
A 00:1F:81 address most plausibly identifies a consumer Bluetooth/audio/mobile device with an Accel SoC, not enterprise networking gear. Do not surface the third-party '2008' date as an IEEE registration date.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium

The OUI 00:1F:81 is an IEEE MA-L (24-bit) block registered to Accel Semiconductor Corp, at 1F, Main Building, 149 Chun Xiao Road, Shanghai, China 201203. Accel Semiconductor was a fabless analog and mixed-signal SoC designer founded in Shanghai around 2004, whose product line centered on consumer wireless and audio silicon — single-chip Bluetooth, FM transmitters, stereo/audio CODECs, and mobile-phone chipsets — rather than networking or routing infrastructure. The company was acquired by OmniVision Technologies in 2010 (in the same window as Aurora Systems) and is no longer an independent operating entity; third-party trackers list its status as defunct. The practical reading for asset classification: a 00:1F:81 address most plausibly belongs to a consumer wireless or audio device incorporating an Accel SoC (mobile phones, Bluetooth peripherals, FM radios), not enterprise switches, access points, or routers, of which no corroborated instances were found. No CVEs or public vulnerability disclosures are attributable to this vendor or prefix. A common data-quality trap to avoid: some third-party lookup tools display a "2008" date for this OUI — that is a database scrape artifact, not an IEEE-published registration date. IEEE publishes no assignment dates in its public OUI data, so allocated_date stays Unknown by design.

IEEE assignment
00:1F:81 → Accel Semiconductor Corp [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (IEEE MA-L); corroborated maclookup.app, cleancss.com
Registry / block size
MA-L (24-bit OUI; single block, ~16.7M addresses) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L / maclookup.app
Registered address
1F, Main Building, 149 Chun Xiao Road, Shanghai, China 201203 [Confirmed] — IEEE registry; cleancss.com/mac-lookup/00-1F-81
Country
CN (China) [Confirmed] — IEEE registry; cleancss.com
Allocated date
Unknown — IEEE publishes NO OUI assignment/registration date; any "2008" date on third-party lookup tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact. [Unknown by design] — IEEE the IEEE MA-L registry schema (Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address only)
Company profile
fabless analog/mixed-signal SoC designer, Shanghai, founded ~2004; products = single-chip Bluetooth, FM transmitters, audio CODECs, mobile chipsets [Confirmed] — cbinsights.com/company/accel-semiconductor-corporation, tracxn.com
Company status
defunct — acquired by OmniVision Technologies in 2010; no independent web presence remaining [Confirmed] — tracxn.com (OmniVision acquisitions), CB Insights ("Dead")
Industry / device types
consumer wireless and audio electronics (Bluetooth audio, mobile phones, FM devices); NOT networking infrastructure. No corroborated networking-device (switch/AP/router) instances on this prefix. [Likely] — CB Insights, Tracxn product profile
Security context
no CVEs, public vulnerability disclosures, or known incidents specific to Accel Semiconductor Corp or 00:1F:81; risk not independently assessable given defunct status and consumer-only profile [Unknown] — no source found
Website
Unknown — no live vendor site; absorbed into OmniVision in 2010 [Confirmed absence]
Analyst note
a 00:1F:81 address most plausibly identifies a consumer Bluetooth/audio/mobile device with an Accel SoC, not enterprise networking gear; do not record the third-party "2008" date as an IEEE registration date.
