@ackshewally There's also D4:2D:C5 for i-PRO & a bunch for Motorola Solutions Inc. (different child company from Motorola, seems to make police hardware). Does anyone know any more OUIs? There are a few other Bluetooth police hardware manufacturers I've found that don't seem to have OUIs.
Also, does using an asterisk like that work? I've been using a regex for it & I would like to turn it into that to make it more readable.
I wish there was something better than BLE Radar for this that could search for things other than just MAC addresses & preset manufacturers.
TBF, those Motorola OUIs would constantly throw alerts for the fire station next door as well.
@the_third I couldn't find anything about Motorola Solutions specifically except that they make police equipment. This isn't the same as the other companies named Motorola, it's a different company.
Motorola Solutions is a dominant radio manufacturer in the government/first responder space, as well as major infrastructure providers. Yes, that means cops, but it also means firefighters, ambulances, trains, buses, airports, and any fleet of mobile service for mission critical stuff like electric utilities, telecom, and some aviation uses. Back in the day of trunk radio, it used to be common for taxis, too.
Motorola sold its consumer mobile businesses (cell phones) in 2011 in a spinoff as "Motorola Mobility," around the time it was shutting down and selling off pieces of its space/satellite businesses, but kept most of its other businesses. Today's Motorola Solutions is the legal successor to the Motorola that invented the cell phone.
Kids today.... Think EVERYTHING starts with their cell phones.
Our handsets are the same that the police around here use. We use the same digital network, repeaters etc., the divide is only in software.
