MAC address vendor

Alcatel-Lucent — 19 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
54:E3:F6
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Alcatel-Lucent is registered to MAC prefix 54:E3:F6 and 18 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 54:E3:F6, that block was registered by Alcatel-Lucent — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
An Alcatel-Lucent OUI on a globally-administered address identifies genuine legacy Alcatel-Lucent (now Nokia-owned) carrier/telecom hardware or Bell Labs-origin equipment. Do not confuse with the separately-registered Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE) OUIs, which cover different, still-independent enterprise-networking hardware.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium

Alcatel-Lucent holds 19 IEEE MA-L blocks recorded under two org-name spellings that both normalize to this vendor's slug: "Alcatel-Lucent" (hyphenated, 9 blocks, one row printed all-caps) and "Alcatel Lucent" (no hyphen, 10 blocks). No MA-M (48-bit) or MA-S (36-bit) assignments exist under either spelling. The registry addresses trace the company's historic footprint: 777 East Middlefield Road, Mountain View, CA (former Lucent Technologies optical-networking site); 600–700 Mountain Ave., Murray Hill, NJ — the Bell Labs address, which Alcatel-Lucent owned following the 2006 Alcatel/Lucent Technologies merger; 601 Data Dr., Plano, TX; Via Trento and Via Energy Park, Vimercate, Italy; and Ramirez de Prado 5, Madrid, Spain. This is the carrier-networking Alcatel-Lucent — telecom, optical, and IP infrastructure plus Bell Labs research — and is a distinct legal entity from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE), the France-based enterprise-networking business spun off on 1 October 2014 that already has its own enrichment-complete entry (vendor-alcatel-lucent-enterprise, 12 MA-L). Alcatel-Lucent itself was acquired by Nokia in a deal that closed in January 2016, after which the carrier brand was progressively folded into Nokia's networking portfolio; the historic OUI registrations remain unchanged in the IEEE registry regardless of the corporate acquisition.

IEEE assignment, hyphenated spelling
9 MA-L prefixes → "Alcatel-Lucent" / "ALCATEL-LUCENT" (all-caps row is the same entity, different address) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
IEEE assignment, unhyphenated spelling
10 MA-L prefixes → "Alcatel Lucent", all at the single address Via Energy Park 14, Vimercate, Italy [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Registry / block size
MA-L (24-bit) only across both spellings; zero MA-M or MA-S assignments for any "Alcatel-Lucent"/"Alcatel Lucent" variant [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry
Registered addresses (hyphenated group)
777 East Middlefield Road, Mountain View, CA 94043, US; 601 Data Dr., Plano, TX 75075, US; 600-700 Mountain Ave., Murray Hill, NJ 07974-0636, US; Via Trento 30, Vimercate, MB, IT; Ramirez de Prado 5, Madrid, ES 28045 [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Registered address (unhyphenated group)
Via Energy Park 14, Vimercate, MB, IT 20871 (all 10 prefixes) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Company identity
distinct legal entity from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE), which spun off from Alcatel-Lucent on 1 Oct 2014 and is majority-owned by China Huaxin Post and Telecom Technologies; ALE already has its own DONE vendor entry
[Confirmed via ALE-entry cross-reference] — en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcatel-Lucent_Enterprise
Corporate history
formed by the 2006 merger of Alcatel and Lucent Technologies (owner of Bell Labs, consistent with the Murray Hill, NJ registry address); acquired by Nokia, deal closed January 2016 [Likely — general corporate-history fact, not independently re-verified by live fetch in this research pass] — en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcatel-Lucent
Company status
historic brand, now part of Nokia's networking business; underlying IEEE OUI registrations remain unchanged post-acquisition [Likely] — en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcatel-Lucent
Device types / product context
not independently confirmed for this specific carrier entity in this research pass (the corroborating web angle researched Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's product lines instead, a different company); historically telecom, optical-transport, IP/mobile-network infrastructure, and Bell Labs R&D [Unknown/Likely — abstain from specific product names] — no live citation for this exact entity's products
Not to be confused with
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell Co., Ltd, Alcatel-Lucent IPD, Alcatel-Lucent Telecom Limited, ALCATEL-LUCENT FRANCE - WTD — all separately spelled, distinct org names in the same registry [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Date field
IEEE the IEEE MA-L registry publishes no assignment/registration date (columns are Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address only); no date recorded for any of these 19 prefixes [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
