MAC address vendor

Advanced Video Communications Inc. — identified by MAC prefix 00:24:A7

Primary prefix
00:24:A7
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Advanced Video Communications is registered to MAC prefix 00:24:A7 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:24:A7, that block was registered by Advanced Video Communications — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
The IEEE lists 00:24:A7 as an MA-L assignment for Advanced Video Communications Inc. For 48-bit MAC addresses, this 24-bit prefix leaves 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible values; this is not an observed device or shipment count. RFC 7042 says assigned OUIs and longer MAC prefixes have the Local bit zero and the Group bit unspecified. Both bits are zero for this listed prefix. The registry assignment does not establish deployment or a particular device. The registry address lists the United States; this does not establish current corporate location or deployment geography. The company trademark page identifies its Advanced Video Communications and LiveLine logos as trademarks and says AVC also serves as the company name, but does not map the prefix to a product.

A MAC address beginning 00:24:A7 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to Advanced Video Communications Inc.; the record does not identify a device category. The company’s trademark page identifies Advanced Video Communications, Inc. as the owner of its marks and lists its logo and the LiveLine logo. It describes AVC as both a trademark used for products and services and a company name, but does not map those products or services to this prefix.

For 48-bit MAC addresses, the 24-bit prefix 00:24:A7 leaves 24 suffix bits, allowing 16,777,216 possible suffix values. In this prefix, the first-octet Group bit (01) and Local bit (02) are both zero; changing either bit changes the prefix. These possible values do not indicate observed devices or shipments.

The IEEE lists MA-L prefix 00:24:A7 for Advanced Video Communications Inc. RFC 7042 states that OUIs and longer MAC prefixes are assigned with the Local bit zero and the Group bit unspecified; here, both bits are zero. The registry entry establishes an assignment, not deployment or a particular device.
