Arlo Technology — 3 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Arlo Technology is registered to MAC prefix
FC:9C:98and 2 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins withFC:9C:98, that block was registered by Arlo Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Three distinct OUI blocks plus a documented public-company history (NETGEAR spin-off, NYSE: ARLO) establish genuine multi-block vendor substance rather than a bare single-OUI shell.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 48:62:64, A4:11:62, or FC:9C:98 belongs to Arlo Technology, typically seen on Wi-Fi security cameras, video doorbells, floodlight cameras, and smart-home base stations sold under the Arlo brand.
Arlo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ARLO) is the publicly traded smart-home security company behind the Arlo product line. It spun off from NETGEAR in a 2018 divestiture and has operated as an independent company since, with its own IEEE registrations for network hardware.
IEEE's MA-L registry lists the registrant name as "Arlo Technology" (singular), a minor variant of the legal corporate name. The three confirmed blocks map to two registry addresses: 3030 Orchard Parkway, San Jose, CA (FC:9C:98) and 480 North McCarthy Blvd, Suite 200, Milpitas, CA (48:62:64, A4:11:62).
Third-party lookup sites such as maclookup.app display per-prefix "registration dates" for these blocks, but IEEE's public OUI data carries no date field at all — those figures are database-scrape artifacts, not IEEE facts, and should never be presented as official registration dates.
