About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:0B:AA matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to Aiphone co.,Ltd. The prefix identifies the registry record; it does not establish which device made the address, whether it is deployed, or the device’s current vendor or security status.
The supplied company history describes Aiphone as an intercom manufacturer founded in Nagoya in 1948. It records the company name changing to AIPHONE CO., LTD. in 1959, and documents product categories including apartment systems, nurse call, and integrated security and communication systems. These catalog details describe the company; the supplied material does not map them to this MAC prefix.
00:0B:AA is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 address bits, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That is a mathematical range, not a count of devices or shipments. The prefix’s first octet is 00: its Group bit is 0 and Local bit is 0. These bits are fixed for an exact prefix match; changing either produces a different prefix. A captured address matching all 24 prefix bits supports the assignment match, but cannot identify a specific product.
