AITelecom: MAC prefix 0C:B0:88 identifies a registry assignment, not a device type
Summary
- // what this is
- AITelecom is registered to MAC prefix
0C:B0:88in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with0C:B0:88, that block was registered by AITelecom — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 0C:B0:88 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to AITelecom. The record identifies the registrant; it does not identify a specific device, product, or deployed network interface. No retrieved source maps this exact prefix to a device category or product.
The assignment is 24 bits long, leaving 24 bits for the suffix. That yields 16,777,216 possible suffix values within the prefix; it is not a count of devices or shipments. An exact prefix match fixes the first octet’s Group and Local bits at zero. Changing either bit produces a different prefix, rather than a variation within this assignment.
RFC 7042 describes 48-bit MAC identifiers as an organization-assigned prefix followed by additional bits, and explains the Group and Local bits. Use the full six-octet address to check for the prefix match; a match supports the AITelecom registry attribution only. The displayed IEEE CSV record provides no assignment date.
