MAC address vendor

00:0A:E9 is registered to AirVast Technology Inc. — Device type: Unknown

Primary prefix
00:0A:E9
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
AirVast Technology is registered to MAC prefix 00:0A:E9 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:0A:E9, that block was registered by AirVast Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
A match identifies the MA-L registry prefix only. The 24-bit prefix has 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible values; this is not an observed device count. The first octet is 00, so the Group and Local bits are zero and fixed for this literal prefix. Changing either bit yields a different prefix.

About this vendor.

A MAC address beginning 00:0A:E9 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to AirVast Technology Inc.; the record does not identify a device category or product. A prefix match establishes the registry assignment, not which device sent the address or whether it is currently deployed by the registrant.

This is a 24-bit prefix, so matching requires the first three octets to equal 00:0A:E9. The remaining 24 bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That is an address-space count, not a count of devices, shipments, or observed addresses.

The first octet is 00 (binary 00000000): its Group bit and Local bit are both zero. For this exact literal prefix, those bits are fixed; changing either bit produces a different prefix. RFC 7042 describes these bits in MAC identifiers and explains the relationship between a 48-bit identifier and its assigned prefix. The IEEE CSV record supplies no assignment date.
