Nokia Danmark A/S — 72 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix

Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Nokia Danmark A/S is registered to MAC prefix 00:18:8D and 71 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:18:8D, that block was registered by Nokia Danmark A/S — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
A globally-administered Nokia Danmark A/S OUI identifies hardware from this Copenhagen registrant. Per-prefix device type is not independently verifiable; do not surface a third-party date as an IEEE registration date.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium

Nokia Danmark A/S holds 72 IEEE MA-L OUI blocks, all registered to the same organization name and the same Copenhagen address (Frederikskaj, Copenhagen V, DK-1790, Denmark) across the assignments. This is the Danish subsidiary of Nokia Corporation — registered in the Danish business registry under CVR 13680531, an active company whose ownership traces through Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy (and earlier Alcatel-Lucent Participations SA), with a stated telecom and manufacturing business purpose. The block count and the corporate paper trail make this a substantive multi-OUI registrant rather than a bare shell: the Copenhagen operation was a real device-engineering site, and the April 2011 restructuring that cut roughly 950 jobs there is consistent with genuine hardware R&D activity behind these allocations. The blocks most plausibly trace to Nokia's pre-2014 handset-era and telecom-equipment hardware, though no independent source gives a verifiable per-prefix device-type breakdown, so that mapping is an inference rather than a sourced fact. Two data-quality points matter for anyone consuming this entry. First, the registrant address carries minor free-text variance in IEEE's own data — most rows read "Frederikskaj, Copenhagen V, DK-1790," but prefix 0002EE reads "Frederikskaj, Copenhagen V copenhagen DK 12345" and prefix 00180F spells the country "Denmark" with postal "DK 1790V"; these are IEEE free-text quirks, not our transcription errors. Second, IEEE publishes NO assignment or registration date for OUI blocks; the "registered 09 November 2000 / updated 02 July 2019" strings shown on third-party lookup tools are database-crawl artifacts and must not be recorded as IEEE assignment dates.

IEEE assignment
72 prefixes → Nokia Danmark A/S, registered Frederikskaj, Copenhagen V, DK-1790, Denmark [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L
Registry / block size
MA-L (24-bit OUI); holds 72 IEEE MA-L prefixes. Zero MA-M (the IEEE MA-M registry) and zero MA-S (the IEEE MA-S registry) assignments — registry class is MA-L only, checked directly by exact-string match on the organization name. [Confirmed] — IEEE the IEEE MA-L registry / the IEEE MA-M registry / the IEEE MA-S registry. NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date; any "date registered" on third-party tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.
HQ / country
Frederikskaj, Copenhagen V, DK-1790, Denmark (registry address; minor free-text variance across rows) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L
Company status
active — Danish subsidiary of Nokia Corporation, CVR 13680531, currently owned by Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy (previously Alcatel-Lucent Participations SA), telecom/manufacturing business purpose, annual report filed through FY2025 [Confirmed] — northdata.com (CVR 13680531)
Historic operation
operated a Nokia device R&D site in Copenhagen; ~950 jobs cut in the April 2011 restructuring/closure, consistent with genuine device-engineering activity [Confirmed] — Eurofound restructuring database
Device types
Unknown at the per-OUI level — no independent source gives a verifiable device-category breakdown (handset vs. router vs. network infrastructure) for these 72 prefixes. Most plausibly legacy Nokia mobile-phone-era hardware and/or telecom network equipment, but this is inference, not a sourced fact. [Unknown]
Verified sample prefixes (all MA-L, Nokia Danmark A/S)
00:18:8D, A8:7E:33, 00:24:03, 00:1B:33, 34:7E:39 [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L
Website
nokia.dk is listed as the vendor site field by third-party tools but is NOT independently verified as Nokia's live official Danish site; Nokia's corporate site is nokia.com (with /da_dk locale paths). Treat as Unknown/unverified. [Unknown]
Security context
no CVE, malware association, or notable abuse pattern found for this OUI block in this research pass; nothing beyond routine telecom-equipment MAC allocation. [Unknown]
Related vendors
Nokia Corporation (parent); other Nokia-branded IEEE registrants may hold separate OUI blocks under different registrant names.
Analyst note
A globally-administered Nokia Danmark A/S OUI on the wire identifies hardware from this Copenhagen registrant's allocations. IEEE publishes no assignment date, so do not surface a third-party "date registered" as an IEEE fact; the per-prefix device type is not independently verifiable.
