Aethra Telecomunicazioni — 00:D0:D6 (MA-L)

A MAC address starting with 00:D0:D6 belongs to Aethra Telecomunicazioni, an Italian telecom-equipment maker whose IEEE registration covers a single MA-L block. Historically the prefix is associated with ISDN network termination (NT) hardware the company shipped at scale in the 1980s-90s; on current-era gear the same corporate lineage now makes broadband CPE routers and VoIP equipment, though no source ties 00:D0:D6 specifically to a named model.

Aethra is not a bare shell registration. Aethra S.p.A. built a multi-decade business on ISDN terminations deployed in more than 60 countries, and in 2009-2010 A TLC S.r.l. (part of AB Medica Group) acquired Aethra S.p.A.'s networking and telecom assets. The business continues to trade as "Aethra Telecommunications" from Ancona, Italy, with an active, dated product catalog spanning VDSL2/broadband gateways, VoIP/SBC equipment, and 5G/LTE WAN routers.

IEEE's public OUI registry (the IEEE MA-L registry) carries only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, and Organization Address columns — no assignment-date field. Third-party lookup sites print a "registered November 9, 2000" style date for 00:D0:D6; that is a database artifact from the scraping site, not an IEEE-published fact, and should not be attributed to IEEE.

No CVE, NVD entry, or vendor security advisory naming Aethra or A TLC hardware was found as of an August 2026 search. That is a sourced negative, not a confirmed-clean bill of health — absence of a public finding does not rule out unreported issues.

Analyst note

00:D0:D6 identifies hardware manufactured under Aethra's single IEEE registration; treat the current product-catalog detail (VDSL2/VoIP/5G routers) as vendor-level context, since no source ties this exact prefix to a named current model.
