Axon Networks — 3 prefixes (MA-L), two distinct organizations
Summary
- // what this is
- Axon Networks is registered to MAC prefix
00:58:28and 2 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:58:28, that block was registered by Axon Networks — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Two distinct organizations share the 'Axon Networks' name across these OUIs; the name alone does not pin down which registrant — surface the MA vs CA split. Do not conflate with Axon Enterprise (cameras).
About this vendor.
The "Axon Networks" name maps to three IEEE MA-L assignments that, on inspection, belong to two separate organizations rather than one continuous company. The block 00:C0:D4 is registered to "AXON NETWORKS, INC." at 104 Spruce Street, Watertown, MA 02172 — the all-caps style and a 24-bit MA-L (the only OUI class IEEE offered in that era) are consistent with an older, unrelated Massachusetts filing. The other two blocks, 00:58:28 and 84:70:03, are both registered to "Axon Networks Inc." at 15420 Laguna Canyon Rd., Irvine, CA 92618 — the modern, active US company. That present-day AXON Networks, Inc. spun off from Greenwave Systems in April 2021 with $27M in funding and supplies ISP customer-premises equipment: broadband routers and gateways over DSL, fiber, and 4G/5G LTE, plus its AI-driven AnyNet orchestration platform. In June 2026 it reportedly acquired Greenwave Systems. Because two distinct organizations share the name, any consolidated vendor page should make the split explicit rather than implying a single lineage. No registration dates are recorded here: IEEE publishes no assignment dates for MAC/OUI prefixes, and the per-prefix "date registered" values shown by third-party lookup tools are database artifacts, not IEEE facts. A common identity trap: public CVE databases list an "Axon" vendor, but those entries resolve to Axon Enterprise, Inc. (law-enforcement cameras), a wholly separate company — no CVEs were found for this networking vendor.
- IEEE assignment
- 3 MA-L prefixes across two orgs sharing the "Axon Networks" name [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L
- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit OUI) for all three assignments [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L. NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date (columns are only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address); any "date registered" on third-party tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.
- Prefix 00
- C0:D4 → "AXON NETWORKS, INC." at 104 Spruce Street, Watertown, MA 02172, US — older/likely-unrelated Massachusetts entity [Confirmed assignment; separate-entity reading is inferential from address + filing style] — IEEE MA-L
- Prefix 00
- 58:28 → "Axon Networks Inc." at 15420 Laguna Canyon Rd., Irvine, CA 92618, US [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L
- Prefix 84
- 70:03 → "Axon Networks Inc." at 15420 Laguna Canyon Rd., Irvine, CA 92618, US [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L
- HQ / country (active entity)
- 15420 Laguna Canyon Rd., Irvine, CA 92618, US; offices also in Copenhagen and Singapore [Confirmed registry address; additional offices Likely] — IEEE MA-L, prnewswire.com
- Company status (active entity)
- active; spun off from Greenwave Systems April 2021 with $27M funding; reportedly acquired Greenwave Systems June 2026 [Confirmed spin-off/funding; acquisition Likely] — prnewswire.com, telecompaper.com
- Device types
- ISP CPE — broadband routers and gateways over DSL, fiber, and 4G/5G LTE; bonded-DSL and wireless last-mile equipment; AI-driven AnyNet/vEDGE orchestration [Confirmed] — axon-networks.com, prnewswire.com
- Security context
- no CVEs or public advisories found for this networking vendor's CPE products as of June 2026 [Likely] — cvedetails.com. Data trap: public "Axon" CVE entries resolve to the unrelated Axon Enterprise, Inc. (law-enforcement cameras), not this company.

- Analyst note
- two distinct organizations share the "Axon Networks" name across these OUIs; a globally-administered Axon OUI identifies hardware from one of these registrants, but the name alone does not pin down which entity — surface the MA vs CA split rather than implying one continuous company.
