MAC address vendor

ADVAS CO., LTD. MAC prefix identification: vendor assignment only

Primary prefix
70:1A:ED
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Advas is registered to MAC prefix 70:1A:ED in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 70:1A:ED, that block was registered by Advas — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High  ·  2 sources  ·  How this page is checked

A MAC address beginning 70:1A:ED matches the MA-L assignment registered to ADVAS CO., LTD.; the supplied records do not identify a device category or a specific product for this prefix. A match establishes the registered prefix, not the maker of a particular device, its operating system, or its safety status.

This is one 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values. The arithmetic permits 16,777,216 possible suffix values, but that is a capacity of the address space, not a count of devices, addresses in use, or shipments.

In 70, the Group bit is 0 and the Local bit is 0. For this exact prefix, those bits are fixed: the matching boundary is the first 24 bits (70:1A:ED). Changing either bit changes the prefix and no longer matches this assignment. RFC 7042 explains the distinction between these bits and the assigned organization prefix; bits within the fixed prefix should not be treated as variation within it.

Identification
MA-L assignment to ADVAS CO., LTD.; no device category is identified. [Confirmed] — https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.csv
