Vivint Wireless Inc. MAC Prefix Identification

Primary prefix
A0:FE:61
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Vivint Wireless is registered to MAC prefix A0:FE:61 and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with A0:FE:61, that block was registered by Vivint Wireless — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
The assignments are 24-bit prefixes. Each leaves 24 suffix bits, allowing 16,777,216 possible suffix values; this is not an observed device or shipment count. Both prefixes have Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 in the first octet. A match establishes only the registered prefix assignment, not a particular device or product.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High  ·  2 sources  ·  How this page is checked

A MAC address beginning with A0:FE:61 or 5C:2B:F5 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to Vivint Wireless Inc.; the records do not identify a device category or specific product for either prefix. A match identifies the registered prefix only, not a particular device, deployment, or current company identity.

Both assignments are 24-bit prefixes, leaving 24 bits (16,777,216 possible suffix values) under each prefix. These are mathematical address possibilities, not counts of devices or shipments. The matching boundary is the first three octets; the remaining three octets may vary.

For both listed prefixes, the first octet has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0. RFC 7042 describes those bits as significant in MAC addresses: changing either bit changes the prefix and no longer matches the exact listed prefix. The IEEE records provide no assignment dates.
