AESYS S.p.A. — 00:11:BF (MA-L)

Primary prefix
00:11:BF
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
AESYS S.p.A is registered to MAC prefix 00:11:BF in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:11:BF, that block was registered by AESYS S.p.A — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
A MAC starting 00:11:BF identifies genuine AESYS hardware; given AESYS's product line, that hardware is most likely traffic-control or transit-signage equipment (VMS/PIDS) rather than general-purpose IT gear.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium  ·  12 sources  ·  How this page is checked

A MAC address starting with 00:11:BF belongs to AESYS S.p.A., an Italian manufacturer whose devices most often surface as traffic-control and transit-signage equipment rather than general-purpose networking gear.

AESYS holds a single IEEE MA-L block, 00:11:BF, registered to its Bergamo, Italy headquarters. Unlike large multi-OUI vendors, no companion MA-M or MA-S registrations exist for the company in the cached IEEE registries, so this one prefix is the entirety of its known MAC address footprint.

Founded in 1977, AESYS builds Variable Message Signs (VMS) for highways and tunnels, Passenger Information Display Systems (PIDS) for rail and bus networks, mobile VMS trailers, and LED/LCD digital signage, sold from an active corporate site that also publishes a Code of Ethics and a Vulnerability Disclosure Policy.

That product mix means a 00:11:BF address on a network is far more likely to be a roadside sign controller or a transit-platform display than a laptop, phone, or router. No CVE naming AESYS appears in the NVD as of an August 2026 search — a sourced negative, not a certified clean record.
