Arcade Communications Ltd. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Arcade Communications Ltd. holds two IEEE MA-L OUI assignments, 28:44:30 and 60:61:34, both registered under the identical organization name and street address — 1120 Elliott Court, Herald Avenue, Coventry, CV5 6UB, an unambiguously UK postcode. The two raw the IEEE MA-L registry rows nonetheless carry different country-code tokens as literally written: 60:61:34 is recorded as "CA" while 28:44:30 is recorded as "GB." Given the shared UK postcode, the "CA" token most plausibly reflects a registry data-entry artifact rather than a genuine Canada-based assignment, though this cannot be independently confirmed from the cached IEEE data alone, so it is reported as-written rather than silently corrected. Beyond the bare dual registration, open web research found no identifiable operating company, product line, or device context for "Arcade Communications": no patents, no substantive corporate filings tied to the actual registrant, and no security or usage-in-the-wild literature. A modern, unrelated UK company sharing the name (Companies House #14082570, incorporated 2022-05-03, dissolved 2025-08-13) postdates the OUI record's earliest third-party sighting (2013) by roughly nine years and is not the registrant. IEEE publishes no assignment date for either prefix, and no IANA RFC reference applies to a MAC-vendor registration, so both fields stay blank rather than fabricated.

IEEE assignment

2 prefixes (28:44:30, 60:61:34) → Arcade Communications Ltd., MA-L [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-L registry

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI); 2 IEEE prefixes on record for this org name; no MA-M (the IEEE MA-M registry) or MA-S (the IEEE MA-S registry) entries found [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry

HQ / registered address

1120 Elliott Court, Herald Avenue, Coventry, CV5 6UB (identical on both rows) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-L registry

Country discrepancy

60:61:34 row is written "CA"; 28:44:30 row is written "GB." Both share a UK postcode, so "CA" is likely a source data-entry artifact, not a real Canada assignment — reported as-written, not corrected [Likely] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-L registry

Company status

Unknown — no identifiable operating company, product, or device context found in open web research beyond the bare IEEE registration [Unknown] — WebSearch passes (patents, SEC/EDGAR, press, ISP/telecom device context — no hits)

Unrelated namesake

a modern, dissolved UK company "ARCADE COMMUNICATIONS LTD" (Companies House #14082570, incorporated 2022-05-03, dissolved 2025-08-13, SIC 61900) shares the name but postdates the OUI record's earliest third-party sighting by ~9 years and shows no product/device link — treated as coincidence, not corroboration

Third-party aggregator metadata

maclookup.app lists "First Seen: 2013-09-12" / "Last Mod: 2023-08-04" for this vendor — these are crawl/index-touch artifacts of a third-party database, not an IEEE registration date, and are not recorded as registration_date [Confirmed] — https://maclookup.app/vendors/arcade-communications

Device types / notable products

Unknown — no product or device literature found tying any hardware to this OUI [Unknown]

Registration date

Unknown / not applicable — IEEE's the IEEE MA-L registry publishes no assignment or registration date for MA-L entries; none fabricated [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

IANA reference

Not applicable / blank — no IANA RFC reference exists for OUI/MAC vendor registrations [Confirmed]

Related vendors

none found

Analyst note

this entry qualifies for enrichment (not a bare single-OUI shell) on the strength of two confirmed OUI assignments under the identical name and address, despite no findable company substance beyond the registry data itself.
