Vecima Networks Inc. MAC prefixes: vendor assignment, device unknown

A MAC address beginning with one of these prefixes matches an IEEE registry assignment to Vecima Networks Inc.; the prefix alone does not identify a specific device or product. The company describes its work in broadband access, content delivery, cloud-native software, automation, and telematics, but the supplied material does not map these prefixes to any product or device category.

The assignments are 2C:55:3C and 00:18:48 (each 24 bits), plus 2C:C4:4F:2/28 (28 bits). For all three, the first-byte Group and Local bits are zero and fixed for an exact prefix match. Their matching boundaries are respectively the first 24, 24, and 28 bits; changing either bit produces a different prefix. These assignments leave 24, 24, and 20 suffix bits—16,777,216, 16,777,216, and 1,048,576 possible suffix values. Those are address-space counts, not observed device or shipment counts.

Vecima says it was founded in Saskatoon in 1988 as Wavecom Electronics Inc.; its company history records the name Vecima Networks Inc. in 2006. Its published product categories include broadband access platforms, content delivery and storage, and telematics. A matching address establishes a registry-prefix match only; it does not establish deployment, traffic prevalence, current device ownership, or security status.

Interpretation

An exact match uses the first 24 bits for 2C:55:3C or 00:18:48, and the first 28 bits for 2C:C4:4F:2/28.
