ACN ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS — vendor identified; device type Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- ACN Advanced Communications is registered to MAC prefix
00:D0:73in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:D0:73, that block was registered by ACN Advanced Communications — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A match identifies the MA-L registry assignment only. This 24-bit prefix leaves 24 suffix bits (16,777,216 possible values), not a device or shipment count. For the exact prefix 00:D0:73, the Group and Local bits in the first octet are both zero; changing either bit yields a different prefix.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:D0:73 matches the IEEE MA-L assignment to ACN ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS. The record identifies the registered organization; it does not establish which device, product, or current vendor identity is represented by a particular address.
The prefix is 24 bits, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values. This is a mathematical address-space count, not a count of devices, shipments, or observed addresses. The IEEE registry lists the organization address as “NETWORKS SA CH”; CH is the address code in that registry entry, not confirmation of the registrant’s current headquarters or operations.
For this exact prefix, the first octet is 00: its Group bit and Local bit are both zero. RFC 7042 describes these bits as significant in MAC identifiers; changing either bit changes the prefix and therefore no longer gives an exact 00:D0:73 match. A match supports identifying the registry assignment only, not deployment, traffic prevalence, or security status.
