ALE International (Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise) — 3 prefixes (MA-L)

ALE International SAS, which trades as Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE), is a French enterprise-communications equipment maker headquartered at 32 Avenue Kléber, Colombes, France. It holds three distinct IEEE MA-L (24-bit OUI) blocks: 00:80:9F and 48:7A:55, both registered to the Colombes headquarters, and 3C:28:A6, registered to a Shanghai, China address (2/F, Building 1, No.60 Naxian Road, Pudong). The company's lineage runs through Alcatel and the 2006 Alcatel-Lucent merger; the enterprise division was carved out on 1 October 2014 into ALE International, majority-owned by China Huaxin, and continues to license the Alcatel-Lucent brand. Devices carrying these OUIs are enterprise networking and telephony hardware: OmniSwitch LAN switches (campus access through core and data-center), OmniAccess Stellar Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points, and OmniPCX communication servers with SIP/DECT desk and conference phones. This is enterprise infrastructure and VoIP equipment, not consumer IoT. The product lines have a real, tracked CVE history (for example CVE-2015-2805, a CSRF flaw across several OmniSwitch families, and buffer overflows in the OmniPCX Enterprise Unified Maintenance Tool), a substance signal consistent with actively deployed, maintained hardware rather than a bare paper registration.

IEEE assignment

3 prefixes → ALE International, MA-L blocks [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (local cached copy)

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI); three assignments (00:80:9F, 48:7A:55, 3C:28:A6), ~16.7M addresses each [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry; corroborated by maclookup.app. NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date; any "date registered" (e.g. third-party lookups showing 1998/2016 for 00:80:9F) is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact, and is NOT recorded here.

Security context

real CVE history on ALE/Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise gear reinforces device authenticity — e.g. CVE-2015-2805 (CSRF in OmniSwitch 6450/6250/6850E/6900/etc. web management), weak session-ID generation in the OmniSwitch web interface, and stack-based buffer overflows in the OmniPCX Enterprise Unified Maintenance Tool CGI. ALE maintains its own security-advisory channel. No evidence of malicious or counterfeit-use association.

Analyst note

A globally-administered ALE OUI on an address reliably identifies genuine Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise networking/telephony hardware. maclookup.app aggregates the three blocks under "ALE International"; the ~50M-address figure some aggregators cite is the sum of the three MA-L blocks.
