Agilis Corporation — 00:80:5C (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning 00:80:5C belongs to Agilis Corporation, a Mountain View, California computing company registered with IEEE for a single 24-bit OUI block, historically tied to hand-held field-computing workstations from the late 1980s.

The registration itself is a bare IEEE record with no assignment date and no device data attached. What lifts this above a content-free shell is independent corroboration: a 1989 BYTE Magazine writeup and a June 1989 Agilis product data sheet both describe the "Agilis System," a modular touchscreen hand-held workstation line running Unix, OS/2, or DOS with radio networking.

That product line is further corroborated by two FCC equipment-authorization filings under the same grantee name and Mountain View address — a 902-928 MHz spread-spectrum radio module (granted December 1989) and an EGA LCD display peripheral (granted February 1990). No teardown or device-fingerprint source directly ties a shipped unit's MAC to this prefix, so the device link rests on matching company/product/filing details rather than a hands-on match.

Agilis Corporation's later history is unverified. No acquisition record, wind-down notice, SEC filing, or corporate-registry page could be found; the last dated activity found is the 1989-1990 FCC filings, with a 1994 manufacture-cutoff date on one authorization. No CVE or documented vulnerability is recorded for Agilis Corporation or this prefix as of an August 2026 search.

Two modern, unrelated entities surface in searches for "Agilis" and must not be conflated with this vendor: Agilis Systems LLC (a present-day fleet-tracking SaaS company) and Diebold Nixdorf's "Agilis Xfs for Opteva" (ATM software with its own CVE history). Neither traces to the Mountain View OUI registrant described here.

Special note

Do not confuse with modern unrelated namesakes "Agilis Systems LLC" (fleet-tracking SaaS) or "Diebold Nixdorf Agilis Xfs for Opteva" (ATM software); neither traces to this OUI registrant [Confirmed absence of connection] — web search, August 2026

Security history

No CVE or documented vulnerability found tied to Agilis Corporation or 00:80:5C as of an August 2026 search [Likely]

Analyst note

single-OUI vendor with genuine product substance (documented hand-held field workstations, corroborated by independent trade-press and FCC filings) but no evidence of a current corporate presence; treat identification as historic hardware only, not an active company. [Likely]
