Ceragon Networks Ltd. — microwave backhaul equipment (4 MA-L prefixes)
Summary
- // what this is
- Ceragon Networks is registered to MAC prefix
08:BA:B7and 3 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with08:BA:B7, that block was registered by Ceragon Networks — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A Ceragon OUI on a device typically indicates telecom-carrier, utility, or private-wireless backhaul infrastructure rather than a consumer device; company substance (4 OUIs, named product lines, Nasdaq listing) supports finalizing rather than treating as a bare single-OUI shell.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 08:BA:B7, F4:B5:BB, 00:0A:25, or 3C:4C:D0 belongs to Ceragon Networks Ltd., an Israeli manufacturer of microwave and millimeter-wave point-to-point wireless backhaul radios. These addresses turn up on telecom carrier backhaul links and private wireless infrastructure, not on general consumer LANs.
Ceragon holds four separate IEEE MA-L assignments across two registered addresses: three older blocks (F4:B5:BB, 00:0A:25, 3C:4C:D0) registered to "Ceragon Networks" at 24 Raoul Wallenberg Street, Tel-Aviv, and a newer block (08:BA:B7) registered to "Ceragon Networks Ltd." at 3 Uri Ariav St., Rosh Ha'Ayin. Holding multiple OUIs across two office eras indicates an established, ongoing manufacturer rather than a one-off registration.
The company's own site corroborates this: it describes 30+ years of operation, 1M+ deployed systems, presence in 130+ countries, and Nasdaq listing (CRNT), with named product lines including the IP-50 and IP-20 wireless-backhaul series, IP-100E/IP-100FR2, and the EtherHaul/MultiHaul millimeter-wave line marketed as "Siklu by Ceragon."
As with all OUI lookups, IEEE's public registry publishes no assignment date for any of these four blocks — any "date registered" shown by a third-party MAC-lookup tool is that tool's own database artifact, not an IEEE fact, and is not recorded here.
