AEP Ticketing Solutions srl — 04:E2:F8 (MA-L)

The OUI prefix 04:E2:F8 is registered to AEP Ticketing Solutions srl, a manufacturer of automated fare-collection (AFC) hardware for public transit, at the registry address Via dei Colli 240, Signa, Firenze, Italy 50058. It is a single MA-L (24-bit) block, and no companion AEP assignments turn up in either the MA-M (the IEEE MA-M registry) or MA-S (the IEEE MA-S registry) registries, so this one block is the vendor's entire IEEE footprint. AEP is a real, operating company rather than a shell registrant: its own site documents named product lines — the Futura 3B and Futura 3ALX validators, the V8 compact validator, and ticket vending machines — that are exactly the class of networked transit hardware this OUI would be embedded in, and the company was acquired by transit-technology group Modaxo in December 2021 while retaining its own brand, a detail corroborated by an independent press release and by multiple business-data aggregators. No CVEs or security advisories specific to AEP hardware were found in this pass; that absence is reported honestly as unverified rather than asserted as a clean record.

Security note

Analyst note

a 04:E2:F8 globally-administered MAC identifies AEP transit fare-collection hardware (validators, ticket vending machines) at a bus/rail/metro operator, not a consumer endpoint or generic office device.
