MAC address vendor

Beijing Ereneben Information Technology Limited Shenzhen Branch — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
1C:5F:FF
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Beijing Ereneben Information Technology Limited Shenzhen Branch is registered to MAC prefix 1C:5F:FF and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 1C:5F:FF, that block was registered by Beijing Ereneben Information Technology Limited Shenzhen Branch — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
The registrant name plausibly maps to 北京壹人壹本信息科技有限公司 (E人E本/EBEN), a Lenovo-invested Android tablet maker acquired by Tsinghua Tongfang in 2013, but this bridge is Likely (name transliteration + product-line match across secondary sources), not Confirmed via a primary source. Do not extend identification to OUI 88:C3:6E without confirming the same corporate entity.
[ 01 ] — Context

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Likely

A MAC address starting with 1C:5F:FF or 40:88:E0 belongs to Beijing Ereneben Information Technology Limited, Shenzhen Branch — typically seen on EBEN-brand Android handwriting-tablet PCs and related consumer electronics rather than networking infrastructure.

Both prefixes are registered under the identical registrant name and street address in Shenzhen's Luohu District, indicating a single active branch office rather than two unrelated firms. IEEE's MA-L registry lists no assignment date for either block, and any "registered on" date shown by third-party lookup tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

Independent product corroboration comes from DeviceAtlas, which lists eight device models under the vendor tag "Ereneben" — EBEN A2, EBEN M2, EBEN T5, EBEN T6, EBEN T7-TD, K8s, T8, and T9 — consistent with the Chinese "E人E本/EBEN" handwriting-tablet product line.

The registrant name plausibly traces to 北京壹人壹本信息科技有限公司 (Beijing YirenYiben, English brand "E人E本"/EBEN), a company founded in 2009 that built ARM+Android handwriting tablets, received Lenovo investment in 2010, and was acquired by Tsinghua Tongfang for roughly ¥1.45 billion in 2013. This identity bridge rests on name transliteration and matching product-line naming across independent third-party sources rather than a directly-read primary source, so it is tagged Likely, not Confirmed.

A third, textually distinct registrant name ("Beijing Ereneben lnformation Technology Limited", OUI 88:C3:6E) shares the same building complex but a different suite and postal code, and is NOT folded into this entry — it is kept as a separate vendor pending confirmation of a shared corporate entity.
