AERODEV — 2C:1E:EA (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning with 2C:1E:EA belongs to AERODEV, a single-block MA-L registrant identified with Shanghai Aerodev Electromagnetic Technologies Inc., typically seen on industrial Ethernet switches, protocol signal converters, or optical fiber transmission equipment rather than consumer hardware.

IEEE's registry lists the registrant as "AERODEV" at No.59, 1985 Lane, Chunshen Road, Shanghai, CN 200237 — a single MA-L (24-bit) block, with no companion MA-M or MA-S registrations found under the same name. That address matches, exactly, the HQ address given for Shanghai Aerodev Electromagnetic Technologies Inc. across independent third-party supplier and trade-data profiles, a strong corroborating link even though it is not a first-party confirmation.

Third-party sources describe Aerodev as tracing to the former EMC Research Chamber of the Chinese Aeronautical Radio Electronics Research Institute (CARERI), and note the Shanghai municipal government recognizes it as a "high-tech enterprise." The company reports two product lines: EMC/EMI hardware (filters, reactors, chokes, surge-suppression modules) and Communication & Network equipment (industrial Ethernet switches, protocol converters, optical transmission gear) — the latter plausibly explains why this manufacturer holds a MAC block, though no specific product model has been tied to the 2C:1E:EA prefix by name.

The vendor's own site (aerodev.com) is reachable and was read directly: the HTTPS origin fails its TLS handshake, but the plain-HTTP page at http://www.aerodev.com/en/about.aspx?Cateid=118 — the exact URL already cited in sources — returns HTTP 200 under a browser user agent. That page identifies the registrant as Aerodev Electromagnetic Technology Co., Ltd (self-styled "Aerodev Electromagnetic Tech. Inc" in its page header), gives the address No.59, Lane 1985, Chunshen Rd., Shanghai — matching the IEEE registrant address exactly — and describes its Communication and Network product line (industrial Ethernet switches, signal transmission equipment for power relay protection systems, optical fiber transmission equipment, protocol signal converters, customized control equipment). Company identity is now Confirmed by this first-party source, corroborated by the third-party summaries (Matchory, Volza, Trademo, Bloomberg, Datasheets.com). No CVEs or security advisories were found tied to Aerodev-branded equipment; that is an unremarkable null result typical of a small niche industrial vendor, not evidence of safety.

maclookup.app reports this OUI as "initially registered on 14 May 2011, with the most recent update made on 17 November 2015." IEEE does not publish OUI assignment/registration dates in its public registry, so this date is a third-party database artifact and must not be presented as an IEEE-sourced registration date.
