Accord Video Telecommunications, Ltd. — 00:90:CA (MA-L)

Accord Video Telecommunications, Ltd. holds the single MA-L block 00:90:CA, registered to a Petach-Tikva, Israel address that matches the Israeli R&D and manufacturing base of Accord Networks Ltd. — the company behind this OUI. Accord Networks was a video- and voice-over-network infrastructure vendor: US headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, with engineering in Israel. It shipped its first products in 1997, turned profitable in 1999 on roughly $25M in revenue, and completed an IPO in June 2000 that raised about $55M. Its hardware line centered on multipoint conferencing units (the MGC 100 and MGC 50 MCUs) and gateways (the VGC 20 firewall gateway and GC 20 multiway gateway), plus associated network management, scheduling, and directory systems. On December 6, 2000, Polycom, Inc. announced its acquisition of Accord for about $339M in stock, expected to close in Q1 2001; the MGC product line continued under Polycom branding (e.g. the Polycom MGC-25). The key data-quality caveat: third-party MAC tools show an "initial registration 22 April 1998" date for 00:90:CA, but IEEE publishes no OUI assignment dates — that value is a database-scrape artifact and must not be rendered as an IEEE registration date. Do not conflate this registrant with the unrelated "Accord Systems, Inc." (00:40:E9), "Accordion Networks, Inc." (00:02:60), "Accord Communications Ltd" (MA-M), or "Accordance Systems Inc." (BC:3E:13).

Analyst note

a 00:90:CA MAC identifies legacy Accord/Polycom video-conferencing infrastructure hardware; the block predates Polycom's own OUIs, so it fingerprints original Accord-manufactured MGC-era units rather than later Polycom-branded product.
