8devices — C4:93:00 (MA-L)

A MAC address starting with C4:93:00 belongs to 8devices, a Lithuania-based networking hardware and firmware company, and typically shows up on an embedded Wi-Fi radio module or system-on-module (SoM) built into a third-party IoT, industrial, or telecom product rather than on a standalone consumer device sold under the 8devices name.

8devices was founded in 2011 and is headquartered at Gedimino st. 47, Kaunas, Lithuania. It is a privately owned, independent company with roughly 120 employees, holds ISO/IEC 27001 information-security certification, and has been a Qualcomm Atheros Authorized Design Center since 2016 for IoT chipset designs.

Its product line centers on embedded Wi-Fi Systems-on-Module — including the "Kiwi" Wi-Fi 7 SoM and "Noni" radio modules — alongside powerline communication modules, USB2CAN adapters, and custom OEM networking hardware, plus embedded Linux/OpenWrt-derived firmware sold as FirmUx and Robosoft. The company maintains an active GitHub organization (8devices/lede-8dev) matching this embedded-networking focus.

8devices sells to OEMs and integrators rather than end consumers, so a C4:93:00 address is most likely to surface as the networking module inside third-party equipment spanning telecom, smart cities, IoT, transportation, and industrial gear — not as a device branded 8devices itself.

8devices holds a single IEEE MA-L block (C4:93:00). Third-party MAC-lookup aggregators list a first-registration date of 13 November 2011 and a last-updated date of 17 November 2015 for this block, but these are aggregator database artifacts, not IEEE-published facts — IEEE's public OUI data carries no assignment or registration date. No CVE or malware association naming 8devices or its products was found as of an August 2026 search.

Special note

third-party aggregators list a 13 Nov 2011 / 17 Nov 2015 date pair for this block; these are database artifacts, not IEEE-published assignment or registration dates — IEEE's public OUI data carries no date field [Likely] — https://maclookup.app/vendors/8devices

Related vendors

none identified — 8devices holds only this one IEEE OUI assignment [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry

Analyst note

8devices modules ship embedded inside third-party OEM hardware, so a C4:93:00 address most often identifies the networking module within another company's product rather than an 8devices-branded end device
