8x8, Inc. — 1 prefix (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- 8X8 is registered to MAC prefix
00:90:A0in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:90:A0, that block was registered by 8X8 — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A globally-administered MAC beginning 00:90:A0 is consistent with genuine 8x8 VoIP hardware (desk phones, ATAs), but this is the vendor's only known OUI block and no device-specific source ties this exact prefix to a named model — treat device-type identification as Likely rather than Confirmed.
About this vendor.
A MAC address starting with 00:90:A0 belongs to 8x8, Inc., and is typically seen on 8x8-branded VoIP desk phones and analog telephone adapters (ATAs) provisioned through the company's cloud communications platform.
8x8 is a publicly traded (NASDAQ: EGHT) cloud communications provider, founded in 1987 and renamed 8x8 in 1996, offering UCaaS (business phone, video, messaging), CCaaS (contact center), and CPaaS APIs. Unlike large multi-block vendors, IEEE records show 8x8 holding exactly one MA-L assignment, with no MA-M or MA-S sub-allocations found under its name.
The IEEE record lists the registrant address as 2445 Mission College Blvd., Santa Clara, CA — 8x8's own site and Wikipedia describe the company as headquartered in Campbell, CA, so the registry address likely reflects an earlier or secondary corporate location rather than the current HQ.
8x8's documentation confirms a physical device ecosystem consistent with a MAC-bearing OUI: an admin-console section for managing devices and a support guide for installing and activating ATAs. No independent teardown or datasheet was found tying the 00:90:A0 prefix to a specific phone model, so device-type identification here is Likely rather than Confirmed.
A third-party site, maclookup.app, shows a "Registration Date" of 1998-04-22 and "Last Updated" of 2015-11-17 for this block. IEEE's own OUI data publishes no assignment or registration dates, so this figure is a database artifact and should not be read as an IEEE-confirmed date. No CVE tied specifically to 8x8 hardware bearing this OUI, and no malware association, was found as of an August 2026 search.
