Akom Technology Corporation MAC Prefix: Vendor Known, Device Unknown

Primary prefix
00:09:2F
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Akom Technology is registered to MAC prefix 00:09:2F in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:09:2F, that block was registered by Akom Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
A captured address matching this 24-bit prefix identifies the MA-L registry assignment only; the remaining 24 bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values. RFC 7042 notes that the first-octet Group and Local bits have special significance. Both are zero for this exact prefix; changing either bit creates a different prefix. The suffix possibilities are not a device or shipment count. The company page lists Audio 20 but does not map it to the prefix.

About this vendor.

A MAC address beginning with 00:09:2F matches the IEEE MA-L assignment to Akom Technology Corporation; the available evidence does not identify a device category that uses it. The company page lists Audio 20, a product described as adding stereo MP3 music and FM radio while a PC is off, but does not connect that product to this prefix.

This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for the suffix: 16,777,216 possible values. That is an arithmetic address space, not a count of devices made, shipped, or observed. Under RFC 7042’s interpretation, the first-byte Group bit and Local bit are both fixed at zero for this exact prefix. Flipping either bit changes the prefix; these bits do not vary within addresses that match 00:09:2F.

A captured match supports identifying the registry assignment only. It does not establish a particular product, operating system, deployment, current company identity, traffic prevalence, or safety. The IEEE CSV record supplies no assignment date.
