MAC address vendor

AM Telecom co., Ltd. — 3 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
C8:41:2E
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
AM Telecom is registered to MAC prefix C8:41:2E and 2 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with C8:41:2E, that block was registered by AM Telecom — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Multi-OUI holder (3 MA-L blocks) with a live product catalog and Japan affiliate — treated as a substantive company, not a bare single-OUI shell.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium

AM Telecom co., Ltd. is a South Korean electronics manufacturer, with its most recent registered address in Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, and an earlier registered address in Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si (also Gyeonggi-do). The company holds three IEEE MA-L OUI blocks — C8:41:2E, 40:C8:CB, and 60:56:7D — all registered under the identical organization name; no MA-M or MA-S allocations were found, so its IEEE footprint is limited to standard 24-bit assignments. The company's own site (amtel.co.kr) and a Japan affiliate (amtel.co.jp) describe a coherent, ongoing product line centered on cellular M2M/IoT connectivity: 2G/3G/LTE modules, cellular modems and routers, vehicle telematics terminals (TCU/OBD/navigation), asset trackers, and a ruggedized "LTE PTT" push-to-talk smartphone reportedly aimed at public-safety users. Holding three separate OUI assignments alongside a real, multi-product catalog and a foreign affiliate is a stronger substance signal than a single dormant registration would be, and the listed device types plausibly carry Ethernet/Wi-Fi MAC interfaces consistent with owning IEEE MA-L blocks. IEEE's own the IEEE MA-L registry publishes no assignment or registration date for any of the three blocks; a third-party lookup tool surfaced a "07 January 2017" registration date for 40:C8:CB, but per policy that is treated as a database ingestion artifact rather than an IEEE-sourced fact and is not recorded here as a registration date.

IEEE assignment
3 prefixes → AM Telecom co., Ltd. [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Registry / block size
MA-L (24-bit OUI) × 3 blocks; no MA-M or MA-S allocations found for this organization [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry
HQ / country
two registered addresses across the three blocks — C8:41:2E carries 20, Gwacheon-daero 7ga-gil, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do 13840, KR; 40:C8:CB and 60:56:7D both carry #608, YatapLeaders B/D, Jangmi-ro 42, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do 463-828, KR. Both are Gyeonggi-do, South Korea; which address is more recent cannot be determined from the registry data alone (no per-block dates published).
[Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Device types
cellular M2M/IoT modules (2G/3G/LTE), modems and routers, telematics terminals (TCU/OBD/navigation), asset trackers, ruggedized "LTE PTT" public-safety smartphone [Likely] — https://www.amtel.co.kr/en/
Verified prefixes
C8:41:2E, 40:C8:CB, 60:56:7D (all MA-L, AM Telecom co., Ltd.) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry; corroborated by macvendorlookup.com and api.macvendors.com (40:C8:CB independently confirmed)
Registration date
Unknown / not applicable — IEEE's the IEEE MA-L registry publishes no assignment/registration date column. A third-party tool (maclookup.app) displayed "Initial registration: 07 January 2017" for 40:C8:CB; this is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact, and is deliberately not recorded as a registration date.
[Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, https://maclookup.app/search/result?mac=40C8CB
Company substance assessment
multi-OUI holder (3 MA-L blocks under one org name) with a live, coherent product catalog and a foreign affiliate — assessed as substantive, not a bare single-OUI shell [Likely] — https://www.amtel.co.kr/en/, http://amtel.co.jp/en/about/company-overview/
Security context
no CVEs or security advisories found in this pass (brand-level search only, not model-number-level); absence is a coverage limitation, not a clean-record claim [Unknown]
IEEE direct verification
standards-oui.ieee.org and a third-party IEEE mirror were both unreachable in the researched pass (HTTP 418 / 403); prefix data rests on the cached registry file plus corroborating third-party scrapes rather than a first-party IEEE fetch this cycle
