MAC address vendor

Aiware Inc. MAC prefix identification

Primary prefix
00:12:95
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Aiware is registered to MAC prefix 00:12:95 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:12:95, that block was registered by Aiware — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Exact match is the 24-bit prefix 00:12:95, leaving 24 suffix bits and 16,777,216 possible suffix values; this is not a device or shipment count. In first octet 00, Group=0 and Local=0, fixed for this literal prefix. Turning either bit on changes the prefix. A match indicates a registry assignment only.

About this vendor.

A MAC address beginning 00:12:95 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to Aiware Inc.; this identifies the registry prefix, not a specific device or product. The supplied assignment record does not identify device categories or establish which products use the prefix.

This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That number describes the address space, not a count of devices or shipments. A match establishes only that the address begins with the registered prefix; it does not establish deployment, traffic prevalence, current vendor identity, or security status.

For this exact prefix, the first octet 00 has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0. These bits are fixed for addresses matching the literal prefix. Changing either bit changes the prefix and no longer yields an exact 00:12:95 match. RFC 7042 explains the Group and Local bits and the structure of 48-bit MAC identifiers.
