About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High  ·  2 sources  ·  How this page is checked

A MAC address beginning with 38:7B:47 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to AKELA, Inc.; the supplied evidence does not identify a device category for this prefix. The assignment identifies a registry record, not a particular device, product, or current vendor status.

The prefix is 24 bits long, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values within the matching range. This is a mathematical address-space count, not a count of devices or shipments. A captured address with these first three octets matches the prefix; a different first three octets do not.

For this prefix, the first-byte Group bit is 0 and the Local bit is 0. These are fixed for the exact literal prefix 38:7B:47; changing either bit changes the prefix and therefore no longer matches this exact assignment. IEEE CSV records supplied here do not include assignment dates.
