Toradex AG is a Swiss embedded-computing vendor headquartered in Horw, near Lucerne, that designs and manufactures ARM-based Computer-on-Modules (CoMs), System-on-Modules (SoMs), and single-board computers for industrial, IoT, edge, medical, defense, and aerospace applications. It holds two IEEE MA-L (24-bit OUI) blocks — 00:14:2D and 8C:06:CB — both registered to "Toradex AG" in Horw, Lucerne (CH-6048). The registry address differs between the two assignments (Altsagenstrasse 5 on 00:14:2D, Ebenaustrasse 10 on 8C:06:CB), most likely reflecting an office relocation between the two registrations rather than two distinct entities; consolidating both blocks under one vendor entry is more useful than two near-identical per-prefix pages. The practical caveat for any Toradex OUI work is that a device presenting one of these prefixes is almost never a consumer end-product sold directly by Toradex — it is overwhelmingly an OEM product built on a Toradex module (e.g. industrial controllers, robotics, medical devices, edge gateways) where the integrator chose Toradex silicon. The modules typically run embedded Linux (Toradex's Torizon OS / Yocto BSP), FreeRTOS, or older Windows Embedded Compact, and are based on NXP i.MX, Texas Instruments (AM62x/AM69), and NVIDIA Tegra processors. Toradex runs an active security-advisory program (published CVE notices, a Torizon Vulnerability Manager for CVE scanning, and SBOM reports), so a Toradex OUI on a network is a useful signal that an internet-connected embedded module — a known attack surface in OT/IoT environments — is present and worth inventorying.
- IEEE assignment
- 2 prefixes → Toradex AG, registered Horw, Lucerne (LU), CH 6048 [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (enrichment/registries/oui.csv lines 8470 and 20898)
- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit OUI), ~16.7M addresses per block; both prefixes are MA-L (no MA-M or MA-S assignments exist) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L; checked oui.csv, mam.csv, oui36.csv. NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date (oui.csv columns are only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address); the "2005-03-25" and "2022-06-03" dates shown by third-party tools (maclookup.app) are database artifacts, not IEEE facts.

- Analyst note
- A Toradex OUI on a globally-administered address identifies an embedded Toradex module, but that module is almost always inside a third-party OEM product, not a Toradex-branded end-device — classify the host by the integrator's product, not by Toradex. Do NOT display the third-party "date registered" values as IEEE registration dates.
