Alcatel Bell Space N.V. — MAC prefix identifies an IEEE registry assignment
Summary
- // what this is
- Alcatel Bell Space N.V is registered to MAC prefix
00:0F:62in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:0F:62, that block was registered by Alcatel Bell Space N.V — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- An exact 24-bit prefix match identifies the registry assignment only. The Group and Local bits of the fixed first octet are both zero; changing either bit yields a different prefix. The 24 remaining bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values, not a device or shipment count.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:0F:62 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to Alcatel Bell Space N.V.; the record does not identify a device type or establish which vendor currently uses an address. The assignment is a registry association, not evidence of observed deployment, traffic prevalence, or safety.
00:0F:62 is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values. That is a mathematical address-space size, not a count of devices or shipments. An exact prefix match fixes the first octet at 00: its Group bit is 0 and its Local bit is 0. Changing either bit changes the prefix, rather than describing variation within this assignment.
For identification, compare the first 24 bits of the captured address with 00:0F:62. A match supports the registry-assignment identification only; it cannot determine a specific device, operating system, current company identity, or security state. Assignment dates are unavailable in these IEEE CSV records.
