MAC address vendor

Valcom — 2 prefixes (MA-L), two unrelated companies sharing one slug

[ 01 ] — Context

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High

The vendor-valcom entry is a slug collision: two legally distinct manufacturers named "Valcom" each hold their own IEEE MA-L block, and both names normalize to valcom once the site's slugify logic strips punctuation and corporate stopwords ("co", "ltd", "inc"). The site's generate-oui-pages.js therefore groups them under a single vendor page with two prefixes — but the companies make completely different hardware, so the page must keep them clearly separated rather than blending them. Prefix 00:D0:5F belongs to VALCOM, INC. of Roanoke, Virginia (founded 1977), a maker of IP and analog paging, intercom, mass-notification, and emergency-communications systems — IP loudspeakers, SIP paging gateways, zone-page controllers, and visual alerting strobes, all designed and assembled in Roanoke and deployed mainly in K–12 schools, hospitals, and government facilities. Prefix 40:B0:A1 belongs to VALCOM CO.,LTD. of Toyonaka City, Osaka, Japan (founded February 1984), a precision-instruments firm making pressure sensors, load cells, and digital indicators — an entirely different OT/industrial device class. The practical consequence for anyone classifying a MAC: a 00:D0:5F address is almost certainly a network-attached paging or intercom endpoint, while a 40:B0:A1 address is most likely an industrial pressure or load instrument. No CVEs or CISA advisories were found for either entity. As always for OUI entries, IEEE publishes no registration date — third-party "registered 2000" figures for 00:D0:5F are database artifacts, not IEEE facts.

IEEE assignment
2 prefixes — 00:D0:5F → VALCOM, INC. (Roanoke, VA, US); 40:B0:A1 → VALCOM CO.,LTD. (Toyonaka City, Osaka, JP) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (local oui.csv lines 831, 5621)
Registry / block size
both MA-L (24-bit OUI) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L. NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date (oui.csv columns are only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address); any "date registered" on third-party tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.
Slug-collision context
both "VALCOM CO.,LTD." and "VALCOM, INC." reduce to the slug valcom under the site's slugify (strips punctuation + stopwords co/ltd/inc), so generate-oui-pages.js groups them as one vendor page with two prefixes. No Valcom matches in mam.csv (MA-M) or oui36.csv (MA-S). [Confirmed] — enrichment/registries/oui.csv
Company A (00
D0:5F) — VALCOM, INC.: 1111 Industry Avenue, Roanoke, VA 24013, US; founded 1977; IP/analog paging, intercom, mass-notification and emergency-communications systems [Confirmed] — https://www.valcom.com , https://hwaddress.com/oui-iab/00-D0-5F/
Company A device types
IP paging gateways, SIP paging servers, IP intercoms, zone-page controllers, mass-notification headends, visual alerting strobes — purpose-built LAN-connected audio/visual endpoints [Confirmed] — https://www.valcom.com/product-portfolio/paging-gateways/ , https://www.valcom.com/secondary-category/sip-paging/
Company B (40
B0:A1) — VALCOM CO.,LTD.: 7-25 Minowa 3-Chome, Toyonaka City, Osaka 560-0035, JP; founded February 1984; pressure sensors (strain-gauge, semiconductor, thin-film), load cells, digital pressure/load indicators, panel meters [Confirmed] — https://www.valcom.co.jp/english/company/
Company B device types
network/serial-connected digital pressure indicators, load-cell controllers, precision measurement instruments — industrial/OT device class [Confirmed] — https://www.valcom.co.jp/english/company/
Security context
No CVEs or CISA advisories found for either entity in this pass [Likely] — https://www.cvedetails.com/ (no Valcom entry surfaced). Category guidance: Company A's SIP/VoIP paging endpoints are potential targets for SIP toll fraud, unauthorized paging injection, or audio eavesdropping if left on flat networks (VLAN-segment them); mass-notification systems in schools/hospitals are sector-flagged high-value disruption targets. Company B's sensors follow general ICS/SCADA risk guidance if on operational networks. Absence of findings reflects niche vendors with limited researcher coverage, not a confirmed clean bill of health.
Registration date
Unknown / not published. Third-party tools (maclookup.app, macverify.com) cite "09 November 2000" for 00:D0:5F — this is a database artifact, NOT an IEEE registration date; do not publish it. [Confirmed null] — https://maclookup.app/macaddress/00D05F/mac-address-details
Analyst note
A 00:D0:5F MAC is almost certainly a Valcom Inc paging/intercom device; a 40:B0:A1 MAC is most likely a Valcom Co.,Ltd industrial pressure/load instrument. Treat the two prefixes as different vendors despite the shared page.
