Commtact Ltd — 2 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Commtact is registered to MAC prefix
D8:03:2Aand 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins withD8:03:2A, that block was registered by Commtact — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Address-matched, address-corroborated defense-comms manufacturer with two OUI assignments and consistent product-line detail across the vendor's own site and an independent industry directory. Corporate-ownership chain (Aeronautics/Rafael) is plausible and multiply sourced but not primary-source confirmed this pass.
About this vendor.
Commtact Ltd holds two IEEE MA-L OUI blocks — D8:03:2A and 00:26:31 — both registered to the same street address, "Nahal Snir, 10, Yavne, Israel" (one row spells the city "Yazne" and uses a shorter postal code, a minor registry-entry variant of the same address, not a different site). That exact address matches the company's current published headquarters, giving strong first-party corroboration that the OUI holder and the live company are the same entity. Commtact is an Israeli defense-communications manufacturer, in business over two decades, that designs, builds, and supports tactical wireless datalink and video-transmission systems — line-of-sight (LOS) and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) platform modules, ground/base-station modules, and munition-datalink variants — for military, homeland-security, aviation, maritime, and land applications, marketed under product families including Phoenix/MICRO Phoenix/MAXI Phoenix and MDLS. The company markets its links as using "advanced encryption and maximum immunity to jamming" for contested-environment use. Multiple industry sources describe Commtact as a subsidiary of Aeronautics Ltd, an Israeli defense-systems group (itself acquired by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems in 2019); this ownership chain is corroborated by more than one source but was not independently confirmed against a primary Commtact/Aeronautics filing in this pass, so it is flagged as Likely rather than Confirmed. Two independent OUI assignments, an address-matched identifiable company, and detailed, consistent product-line corroboration across the vendor's own site and third-party industry directories clear the bar for a substantive vendor entry — this is not a bare single-OUI shell.
- IEEE assignments
- D8:03:2A → "COMMTACT LTD", "NAHAL SNIR, 10 YAVNE IL 8110101" [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, line 6582
- IEEE assignments
- 00:26:31 → "COMMTACT LTD", "Nahal Snir 10 Yazne IL 81101" [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, line 12348
- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit) × 2 blocks; no IEEE-published assignment/registration date for either (the IEEE MA-L registry schema is Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address only) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
- Third-party date caveat
- any "date registered" shown by the Wireshark manufacturer database/maclookup-style third-party lookup tools for these prefixes is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact, and is not recorded here as a registration date [Confirmed schema check]
- Company identity / address match
- registry address "Nahal Snir 10, Yavne, Israel" matches the company's current published HQ address and phone (+972-8-9433602) exactly [Confirmed] — https://commtact-systems.com/
- Company profile
- Israeli defense-communications manufacturer, Yavne, Israel; 20+ years in business per own site; LinkedIn/startup-directory listings put founding around 2004 [Confirmed company existence; founding year Likely, not independently re-verified against a primary filing] — https://commtact-systems.com/, https://finder.startupnationcentral.org/company_page/commtact
- Product lines
- LOS/BLOS/munition platform modules; base-station modules (GDT, Mini GDT, Eagle, Bat) and antennas; named product families MICRO Phoenix, Phoenix, MAXI Phoenix, and MDLS variants; wireless datalinks and video-data links for UAVs/UGVs/USVs[Confirmed] — https://commtact-systems.com/, https://www.unmannedsystemstechnology.com/company/commtact-ltd/
- Target market
- exclusively military/homeland-security across aviation, maritime, land, and munition domains, serving "tier-one integrators worldwide"; no evidence of a commercial/consumer product line [Confirmed] — https://commtact-systems.com/
- Security posture (vendor-stated)
- datalinks marketed with "advanced encryption and maximum immunity to jamming" for contested/combat environments — a marketing claim, not independently audited here [Confirmed as vendor claim, not independently verified] — https://commtact-systems.com/
- Corporate ownership
- reported subsidiary of Aeronautics Ltd (Israeli defense-systems group), alongside other Aeronautics subsidiaries; Aeronautics itself was acquired by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems in 2019 [Likely — corroborated by industry/company-database sources, not independently confirmed against a primary Commtact or Aeronautics filing this pass] — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautics_Defense_Systems, https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/commtact
- Substance verdict
- two independent OUI assignments + address-matched identifiable company + detailed, multi-source product-line corroboration — not a bare single-OUI registration [Confirmed]
- What was checked
- IEEE the IEEE MA-L registry rows for both prefixes; company's own site (commtact-systems.com) for products/address/security claims; unmannedsystemstechnology.com industry directory for product corroboration; general web search for corporate-ownership (Aeronautics) claim, which returned consistent but non-primary sourcing [Confirmed re: what was checked]
- Master/pipeline status at research time
- no existing row in this site's own enrichment records and no prior .md/.CHECK.md for this slug — fresh lookup, not a re-verification [Confirmed] — this site's own enrichment records, this site's own enrichment records
