AirLink Communications, Inc. MAC Prefix: Device Type Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- AirLink Communications is registered to MAC prefix
00:14:3Ein the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:14:3E, that block was registered by AirLink Communications — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A matching address falls within the 24-bit prefix, with 24 suffix bits and 16,777,216 possible suffix values. The first-byte Group bit and Local bit are both 0 for this literal prefix; changing either bit yields a different prefix. Possible suffix values are not a device or shipment count. A prefix match establishes a registry assignment, not a particular device.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:14:3E matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to AirLink Communications, Inc.; the available evidence does not identify a device type. The assignment identifies a registry holder, not a specific device, product, current legal identity, or security state.
This is one 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values within that matching boundary. That number describes address-space capacity, not a count of devices or shipments. A captured address matching the prefix supports the assignment match only.
For this literal prefix, the first-byte Group bit and Local bit are both 0, so their values are fixed within the prefix. Changing either bit produces a different prefix; variation among suffix values does not change those fixed prefix bits. RFC 7042 describes the structure of 48-bit MAC identifiers and the significance of these bits. The IEEE CSV record does not display an assignment date.
