Agile Communications, Inc. — 00:25:B8 (MA-L)

A MAC address starting with 00:25:B8 belongs to Agile Communications, Inc., a small Thousand Oaks, California defense-engineering firm, and is typically seen on ruggedized tactical networking hardware built for U.S. Army and DoD field use rather than on consumer or enterprise gear.

Agile Communications was founded around February 2000 and does systems engineering, modeling and simulation, and networked-systems test and evaluation work for U.S. military tactical communications programs. It holds exactly one IEEE OUI assignment, 00:25:B8, registered to an address on Lawrence Dr in Thousand Oaks — no additional MA-M or MA-S sub-blocks were found under this registrant.

The company's own product line centers on two named hardware lines: the NetConnect Tactical Router, a sub-3lb, ~12W ruggedized edge router built around a Marvell dual-core ARM9 processor with embedded Linux, integrated GPS, and MIL-spec housing, and NetRAT, a ruggedized handheld toolkit for tactical radio network testing. Independent trade press ties the router to U.S. Army Network Integration Evaluation exercises and names CEO Dave Hall.

Two caveats matter for identification. First, business directories list at least two other Thousand Oaks/El Segundo addresses for the company over the years, so the exact office tied to the OUI record may be historical rather than current. Second, a completely unrelated company also named "Agile Communications" is a South Australian telecom carrier with lineage through Internode, iiNet, and TPG Telecom — that carrier is not the OUI registrant and should not be conflated with it.
