thanks for your help

So your example dataset isn't very interesting as no address is repeated -- of course, it doesn't cover more than one second, either...

You imported it as a datenum, from the default date added to the time. Multiple choices at this point, you can either fix the import step to read as duration for the above to work as written; I assumed from your initial post you had a string variable.
Alternatively, two other ways to go -- if the bogus date doesn't offend your sensibilites, then use
T2=renamevars(T2,{'Var1','Var2'},{'Date','Address'}); % get us some useful names
T2=addvars(T2,dateshift(T2.Date),'start','second'),'NewVariableNames',{'Second'},'After','Date');
groupsummary(T2,{'Second','Address'})
and you don't need the specific duration; I didn't do this originally because figured didn't want the date around. But, other than visual, it won't really hurt anything and if you set the .Format property to only show the time section, it'll be transparent.
Alternatively, you can convert to a duration by using
T2.Date=timeofday(T2.Date);
and continue on from there; Date is then a duration. It would be simpler this route to do the dateshift first, then timeofday() on it to have the rounded values to group by.
Oh! So many ways to skin the proverbial quadraped...

If you read this in as a timetable, you can simply use retime to count the number of addresses in a given second. Starting off with dpb's code above.
data={
'14:49:56.421875000' 'ccccd9'
'14:49:56.421875000' 'cccccb'
'14:49:56.429687500' 'cccce0'

'14:49:56.421875000' 'ccccdd'
'14:49:56.421875000' 'ccccd3'
'14:49:56.421875000' 'ccccd2'
'14:49:56.437500000' 'cccd03'
'14:49:56.429687500' 'ccccf3'

'14:49:56.437500000' 'cccd09'

'14:49:56.437500000' 'cccd0a'
'14:49:56.437500000' 'cccd16'
'14:49:56.437500000' 'cccd08'
'14:49:56.437500000' 'cccd13'};
Time=duration(data(:,1),'InputFormat','hh:mm:ss.SSSSSSSSS','Format','hh:mm:ss.SSSSSS');
Address=categorical(data(:,2));
From this point create a timetable and then call retime on it to resample it to seconds and count the number of entries in each bin
tt = timetable(Time,Address)
tt = 34×1 timetable
