aFUN Technology Inc. — 40:74:96 (MA-L)

aFUN Technology Inc. holds a single MA-L block, 40:74:96, registered to a Taipei address in Shihlin District. Unlike a bare single-OUI registrant with no findable identity, aFUN is traceable to an active storefront/listing that markets a genuine product line: miniature GPS engine boards and antennas alongside short-range wireless audio/video modules operating in the 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz FM/FSK, and 900MHz ISM bands, plus an "Apple wireless AV" transmitter/receiver and a claimed first iPod-T4 adapter. The storefront states operation since 1987, though it does not restate the IEEE registrant's exact street address, so the identity match rests on organization name, country, and a plausible product category rather than an address-level confirmation. No second OUI block under this name, independent corporate domain, FCC ID teardown, or press coverage was found in this pass. Net read: a small, real Taiwanese OEM of niche GPS and short-range wireless hardware — moderate substance beyond the bare IEEE registration, not a well-documented networking vendor, and not a content-free shell.

IEEE assignment

40:74:96 → aFUN TECHNOLOGY INC., MA-L [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Registry / block size

MA-L (single 24-bit OUI block); no matching entry for this org/prefix in the IEEE MA-M registry (MA-M) or the IEEE MA-S registry (MA-S) — one exact registry record only [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry; the IEEE MA-M registry; the IEEE MA-S registry

Registered address

2F., No.3, Lane 29, HuLu ST., Shihlin District, Taipei, TW 11165 [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Auxiliary cross-reference

the Wireshark manufacturer database lookup file corroborates the same prefix as "aFUNTECHNOLO / aFUN TECHNOLOGY INC." (secondary, not an independent registry) [Confirmed] — the Wireshark manufacturer database

Company / web presence

identifiable via a storefront listing (afun.diytrade.com), self-described as operating since 1987; exports GPS modules/antennas and 2.4GHz/5.8GHz/900MHz ISM wireless AV transmitter-receiver modules; site does not restate the registrant's street address so name+country+category is the basis for the match, not an exact address match

[Likely] — https://afun.diytrade.com/sdp/1536160/4/main-6182529/0/Home.html

Device type corroboration

consistent with a small OEM/ODM of GPS receiver modules and short-range wireless AV modules (embedded RF/positioning hardware, not general networking gear); no independent FCC ID, teardown, or forum report ties a specific 40:74:96 MAC to a shipped device [Likely] — afun.diytrade.com

Date registered

no IEEE-published registration date exists for OUI/MA-L assignments (the IEEE MA-L registry has no date column) — left null, not fabricated [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Third-party date artifacts (not IEEE facts)

maclookup.app lists a 2013-09-12 initial / 2015-11-17 last-update database timestamp for this OUI — these are third-party DB record dates, not an IEEE registration date, and are not used as allocated_date [Confirmed] — https://maclookup.app/search/result?mac=40-74-96

IANA reference

not applicable to an IEEE MA-L OUI assignment — left blank, not fabricated [Confirmed]

Company substance assessment

moderate — one real, identifiable small Taiwanese OEM with a product catalog reachable via storefront, but only one OUI block, no owned corporate domain, and no press/teardown corroboration found [Likely] — afun.diytrade.com; the IEEE MA-L registry
