Actelis Networks, Inc. — OUI 00:03:85 (MA-L)

Primary prefix
00:03:85
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Actelis Networks is registered to MAC prefix 00:03:85 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:03:85, that block was registered by Actelis Networks — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
A globally-administered 00:03:85 address identifies genuine Actelis hardware, typically in carrier/utility/transit/defense infrastructure; niche vendor, not consumer/mass-market.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High

Actelis Networks, Inc. holds a single 24-bit MA-L block, OUI 00-03-85, registered to the legacy IEEE address "1 Bazel St., P.O.B. 10173, IL". Unlike a bare single-prefix shell, Actelis is a substantive, identifiable, currently-operating vendor: a Nasdaq-listed company (ticker ASNS) that designs and manufactures cyber-hardened hybrid fiber/copper Ethernet access switches, extenders, and aggregation equipment. Its GigaLine, MetaLIGHT, and ML-series products carry Gigabit-class connectivity over existing copper, coax, and fiber for hard-to-reach or rapid-deployment sites — intelligent transportation and rail, utilities, telecom carriers, municipal and campus networks, and U.S. military installations. The company holds DoDIN Approved Products List (APL) status via JITC certification, an independent government listing rather than a self-description. A MAC address beginning 00:03:85 therefore identifies genuine Actelis network hardware, typically found in carrier, utility, transit, or defense infrastructure rather than in consumer devices. IEEE publishes no assignment date for this or any OUI, so no registration date is recorded — a null here is the honest, correct value rather than a fabricated or third-party-scraped artifact.

IEEE assignment
OUI 00-03-85 (000385) → Actelis Networks, Inc. [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (line 5774)
Registry / block size
MA-L (24-bit OUI); single block, no MA-M or MA-S assignment [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry (no match), the IEEE MA-S registry (no match)
Registered address
"1 Bazel St., P.O.B. 10173, IL" (registry address as published by IEEE; country code IL / Israel) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (line 5774)
Third-party cross-check
Wireshark the Wireshark manufacturer database maps 00:03:85 → "ActelisNetwo" / "Actelis Networks, Inc." (derivative, non-authoritative, consistent) [Confirmed] — the Wireshark manufacturer database line 912
Company status
active; publicly traded on Nasdaq under ticker ASNS [Confirmed] — actelis.com; stockanalysis.com, Yahoo Finance, Nasdaq.com, TipRanks (multiple independent finance sources)
Device types
hybrid fiber/copper Ethernet access switches, EFM repeaters/extenders, broadband amplifiers, aggregation switches [Confirmed] — actelis.com/company/about-us
Notable products
GigaLine, MetaLIGHT product series, ML600 / ML2300 Ethernet access & aggregation switches [Likely] — actelis.com (single-source vendor site)
Use context
telecom carriers, utilities, intelligent transportation / smart rail, municipalities, campus, U.S. military networks (critical-infrastructure / IoT); not a consumer-device vendor [Confirmed] — actelis.com
Certification
DoDIN Approved Products List (APL) status, JITC-certified (APL TN #2303901) — independent government listing [Likely] — Actelis press release, streetinsider.com syndication (vendor-originated PR + one syndicator)
Security note
no CVEs or third-party vulnerability disclosures specific to Actelis products surfaced in this pass; absence of findings is reported as Unknown, not "no vulnerabilities exist" [Unknown] — CVE/NVD-oriented web search returned no results
Registration date
IEEE publishes NO assignment/registration date for OUI records; none present in the IEEE MA-L registry; not fabricated or attributed to IEEE [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L data model (Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address only)
Analyst note
A globally-administered 00:03:85 address reliably identifies genuine Actelis hardware for asset classification in carrier/utility/transit/defense contexts; single OUI block means low false-positive collision risk but this vendor's devices are niche, not mass-market.
