Nevion holds three IEEE MA-L (24-bit OUI) blocks — 00:0D:39, 00:14:57, and 00:16:F6 — all registered to "Nevion" at Lysaker Torg 5, Lysaker, Norway (NO-1366). Nevion AS is a professional broadcast and IP media-infrastructure vendor headquartered near Oslo; Sony acquired a 45% stake in June 2019 and completed full acquisition in September 2020, making it a Sony Group subsidiary. A Nevion OUI on a network reliably identifies professional broadcast and media-over-IP equipment, not consumer or general-IT gear: the product line spans Virtuoso software-defined media nodes, eMerge IP switches/SDN media fabric, VideoIPath orchestration control, Ventura WAN transport appliances, Flashlink optical transport, VikinX SDI/IP routing, and nSure monitoring probes. These devices live in broadcast facilities, TV studios, outside-broadcast trucks, and contribution-network POPs — managed private WAN/LAN environments rather than the open internet. Customers include BBC, NRK, France Télévisions, Sky Italia, and major US telecoms. Equipment speaks broadcast media-over-IP standards: SMPTE ST 2110, JPEG XS, JPEG 2000, AES67, PTP (IEEE 1588), MADI, ASI, and SDI (SD/HD/3G/UHD). No publicly documented CVEs were found for Nevion products as of June 2026 (NVD/MITRE negative search — absence of a finding, not a positive attestation); the device-type context keeps internet-exposure risk low, though IP-connected nodes still carry the generic appliance risks of default credentials, unpatched firmware, and exposed management UIs. As with all IEEE OUI data, no registration date is published — third-party "date registered" values are database artifacts, not IEEE facts.
- IEEE assignment
- 3 prefixes → Nevion, registered Lysaker, Norway [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (enrichment/registries/oui.csv)
- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit OUI); 3 IEEE prefixes (00:0D:39, 00:14:57, 00:16:F6). No MA-M or MA-S assignments found [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (enrichment/registries/oui.csv; enrichment/registries/mam.csv; enrichment/registries/oui36.csv).

- Security context
- no publicly documented CVEs found (NVD/MITRE/general CVE search); no known CISA ICS advisories or public exploit disclosures. Nevion states VideoIPath is developed per OWASP secure-coding guidelines with continuous third-party-library scanning. Device-type exposure risk is low (managed private WAN/LAN broadcast contexts), but IP-connected nodes carry generic appliance risks (default credentials, unpatched firmware, exposed web UIs) [Likely — negative search result, not positive attestation] — https://nevion.com/products/videoipath/, https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search/results?query=nevion&search_type=all
- Analyst note
- a Nevion OUI on a network is almost certainly professional broadcast or IP media-infrastructure equipment found in broadcast facilities, studios, OB trucks, and contribution POPs — not home or general-enterprise environments. Legitimate, well-documented Sony subsidiary with 20+ years of operating history. Device-type classification: Confirmed; absence of CVEs: Likely (negative finding).
