Availink, Inc. — 3 prefixes (MA-L)

Availink, Inc. holds three IEEE MA-L (24-bit OUI) assignments — 30:34:D2, 90:23:EC, and F8:29:C0 — all registered under the same Cayman Islands address (Scotia Centre, P.O. Box 268GT, Grand Cayman, KY 999159). Availink is a fabless semiconductor company founded in 2005 with headquarters in Germantown, Maryland, and operations in China; it designs demodulator chips and multimedia SoCs for the digital-TV reception ecosystem. Its product line covers DVB-S/S2/S2X satellite demodulators (the AVL6211/6221/6261 family), multi-standard demodulators (AVL6862/6882), and SoC platforms that decode HD video over satellite, cable, terrestrial, IPTV, and OTT delivery. MAC addresses from these three OUI blocks are therefore most likely to appear on the Ethernet or Wi-Fi interfaces of set-top boxes and streaming dongles built by OEMs around Availink silicon, rather than on Availink-branded retail gear. No CVEs or vendor-specific security disclosures were located in this research pass, though network-connected STB SoCs running embedded Linux are a recognized attack-surface class. As with all OUI data, no registration date is published: IEEE's public OUI files carry no assignment dates, so any "date registered" seen on third-party lookup sites is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

Analyst note

An Availink OUI on a globally-administered address identifies hardware containing Availink silicon — typically OEM-built STBs/dongles, not Availink-branded retail products. OUI alone does not identify the end-device brand.
