Prime Electronics & Satellitics Inc. MAC prefixes: vendor identified, device unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Prime Electronics & Satellitics is registered to MAC prefix
00:06:F4and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:06:F4, that block was registered by Prime Electronics & Satellitics — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A matching address identifies an IEEE registry assignment, not a particular device, product, current owner, deployment, or safety state. Each listed 24-bit prefix has 24 suffix bits and 16,777,216 possible suffix values; this is not an actual device or shipment count. Both exact prefixes have Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 in their first byte; changing either bit yields a different prefix.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 00:06:F4 or D4:C8:B0 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to Prime Electronics & Satellitics Inc.; the assignment does not identify a device type or product. The IEEE records list both prefixes under the same exact organization name. A captured match supports that registry association, not the device’s current owner, deployment, or safety.
Each prefix covers 24 of the 48 address bits, leaving 24 suffix bits and 16,777,216 possible suffix values per prefix. These are possible address values, not a count of devices or shipments. For both listed prefixes, the first byte has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0. Those bits are fixed for an exact literal prefix match; changing either produces a different prefix. RFC 7042 describes the Group and Local bits and the structure of 48-bit MAC identifiers.
To identify a captured address, compare its first three octets with both listed prefixes. A match indicates the IEEE assignment only; it does not establish which product, if any, uses that address. The supplied IEEE CSV records provide no assignment dates.
- Device class
- Unknown; no device category is mapped to these exact prefixes.
- Interpretation
- Each 24-bit prefix leaves 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values. This is not a device count.
