Fairphone's MAC footprint spans two IEEE registrant spellings that should be aliased to one: "Fairphone" (1 MA-L block) and "FairPhone B.V." (3 MA-M blocks), all registered at Piet Heinkade 181A, Amsterdam, Netherlands. A verified sample is 84:CF:BF (MA-L). These OUIs appear on Fairphone's modular/repairable smartphones and its Fairbuds earbuds. Fairphone is a small Dutch ethical-smartphone maker, so the footprint is modest — and notably the newer "FairPhone B.V." entity uses MA-M (28-bit) medium blocks, which are appropriate for low-volume makers. Because of those low volumes, some Fairphone devices may surface under their chipset or module vendor's OUI rather than Fairphone's own. For triage, a Fairphone OUI (especially 84:CF:BF) is a clean brand signal but rare; given low volumes, you may instead see the SoC or Wi-Fi module vendor's OUI on a Fairphone handset.

- Special note
- Small footprint; the newer "FairPhone B.V." uses MA-M (28-bit) medium blocks (appropriate for low-volume makers). Some Fairphone devices may surface under their chipset/module vendor's OUI rather than Fairphone's own. Normalize the two registrant spellings. The IEEE registry publishes no assignment dates, so none is stated here. [Confirmed]
