IEEE registry records assign the prefixes EC:5B:73 and B0:1F:81:E/28 to Advanced & Wise Technology Corp. They identify registry assignments, not device types. The company’s WordPress profile describes Bluetooth connectivity solutions and Bluetooth stacks; it does not map those products to either prefix. [IEEE OUI and MA-M registries; company WordPress profile]

The Andes partner profile describes Advanced & Wise Technology Corp. as established in 2000 and says its Bluetooth stack and profiles support platforms including Linux, Android, and embedded systems. The company’s WordPress profile lists phone connectivity features such as hands-free calling, data transfer, music and video files, and tethering. These company-level descriptions do not identify a product associated with either registry prefix. [Andes partner profile; company WordPress profile]

The assignments have different matching boundaries: EC:5B:73 is 24 bits, leaving 24 address bits after the prefix; B0:1F:81:E/28 is 28 bits, leaving 20. RFC 7042 explains that the first-octet Group and Local bits distinguish group and locally administered addresses. Both supplied prefixes have those bits clear. A match supports the registry attribution only; it cannot establish a specific device, deployment, or shipment count.
