About this vendor.

A MAC address beginning 00:17:5B matches the MA-L prefix assigned to ACS Solutions Switzerland Ltd.; the available records do not identify a device type or product for that match.

This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffixes: 16,777,216 possible values. That is a count of possible suffix values, not a count of devices or shipments. An exact prefix match identifies the registry assignment only; it does not establish which device, if any, used the address.

The first byte is 00 (binary 00000000), so its Group bit and Local bit are both zero. Those bits are fixed for this literal prefix. Changing either bit produces a different prefix, rather than variation within 00:17:5B. RFC 7042 describes the role of these bits in MAC identifiers.

The assignment date, products, industry, website, current legal identity, and related vendors are unknown.
