Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE) — 12 prefixes (MA-L)

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE) holds 12 IEEE MA-L blocks registered under the "Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise" name, all 24-bit OUIs — there are no MA-M or MA-S assignments under this name in the cached registries. Most of the sampled blocks carry the registry address 26801 West Agoura Road, Calabasas, CA, with one block (90:1C:9E) listing a Thousand Oaks address; the company's corporate headquarters is in Colombes, France. ALE is a separate, France-based private enterprise-networking company spun off from Alcatel-Lucent on 1 October 2014 and now majority-owned by China Huaxin Post and Telecom Technologies — it should not be confused with the Nokia-owned Alcatel-Lucent carrier business. These OUIs appear on ALE's enterprise hardware: OmniSwitch LAN switches, OmniAccess Stellar Wi-Fi access points (Wi-Fi 5/6/6E/7), and OmniPCX/OpenTouch IP deskphones, DECT/WLAN handsets, and unified-communications gear, used widely in campus and enterprise networks. Asset-classification note: an ALE OUI on a globally-administered address reliably identifies genuine ALE hardware, but the OmniAccess Stellar AP line carries a notable recent security history (two CVSS 9.8 critical CVEs in 2025), so accurate vendor identification matters for patch tracking. IEEE publishes no OUI registration dates, so any "date registered" on third-party MAC-lookup tools is a database artifact, not a registry fact.

Security note

OmniAccess Stellar AP line carries critical 2025 CVEs — CVE-2025-52688 (CVSS 9.8, unauthenticated root command injection, AWOS ≤5.0.2 GA) and CVE-2025-52689 (CVSS 9.8, session-ID spoofing → unauthenticated admin), plus CVE-2025-52687 (authenticated XSS) and CVE-2025-52690 (root command execution); older advisories cover OmniSwitch CSRF and OmniAccess Wireless 43xx/6000 auth-bypass. ALE runs its own advisory portal. [Confirmed] — csa.gov.sg/alerts-and-advisories/alerts/al-2025-072/; al-enterprise.com/en/support/security-advisories; cvedetails.com/vendor/1111/Alcatel-lucent.html

Analyst note

An ALE OUI on a globally-administered address identifies genuine ALE enterprise hardware; treat the OmniAccess Stellar AP line as patch-sensitive given the 2025 critical CVEs. Do not conflate ALE with the Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent carrier brand — different company, different OUI ownership.
