Orbic North America: MAC prefix identifies a registry assignment, not a device
Summary
- // what this is
- Orbic North America is registered to MAC prefix
34:EA:10and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with34:EA:10, that block was registered by Orbic North America — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Both 24-bit prefixes have Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 in the first byte. Exact matches fix those bits; the remaining 24 bits provide 16,777,216 possible suffix values per prefix, not a device or shipment count. A prefix match identifies an IEEE registry assignment and does not establish a specific device, deployment, current vendor identity, or safety.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 34:EA:10 or D8:D4:5D matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to Orbic North America. The supplied records do not identify a device category or product using either prefix, so a match cannot establish a particular device or model.
Both prefixes are 24 bits long. Their first-byte Group and Local bits are each zero: 34 has both bits clear, as does D8. For an exact prefix match, those bits are fixed; changing either bit produces a different prefix. The remaining 24 bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values per prefix, not a count of devices or shipments.
A captured match establishes that the address begins with a listed assignment. It does not establish deployment, traffic prevalence, current vendor identity, or safety. The record identifies the country as the US, but supplies no assignment dates.
