Siemens Rail Automation SAU — 90:DA:F9 (MA-L)

Siemens Rail Automation SAU holds a single MA-L (24-bit OUI) block, 90:DA:F9, registered to the Spanish subsidiary at Ronda de Europa, 5, Tres Cantos, ES 28760 — in the Madrid metropolitan area. The "SAU" suffix marks a Sociedad Anónima Unipersonal, a single-shareholder Spanish legal entity wholly owned within the Siemens group; the company was formerly the Dimetronic signalling business and now operates as one of Siemens Mobility's competence centres for railway signalling. Hardware likely to carry this prefix is industrial OT/ICS equipment for safety-critical rail infrastructure: wayside signalling computers, electronic interlockings, ERTMS/ETCS trackside and onboard units, CBTC subsystems, ATC/ATO/ATS hardware, and traffic-control-centre workstations. The practical security consequence is that a device resolving to 90:DA:F9 should be treated as a critical-infrastructure OT endpoint governed by IEC 62443, not as general-purpose IT gear: interlocking computers, wayside-to-control-centre IP links, and radio-block-controller connectivity are all network-exposed surfaces, and CISA has flagged ICS advisories touching Siemens rail signalling products. As with all OUI work, IEEE publishes no registration date for this assignment — any "date registered" on a third-party MAC tool is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

Security / analyst note

devices on this OUI are safety-critical rail OT assets governed by IEC 62443. Siemens Mobility holds TÜV SÜD IEC 62443 certification for its Train Blueprint Architecture (ATC systems / onboard comms). Treat 90:DA:F9 endpoints as critical-infrastructure OT — interlocking computers, wayside-to-control IP links, and ERTMS radio-block-controller connectivity are network-exposed; CISA has issued ICS advisories touching Siemens rail signalling products.
