MAC address vendor

Beijing Winner Microelectronics Co.,Ltd. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
28:6D:CD
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Beijing Winner Microelectronics is registered to MAC prefix 28:6D:CD and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 28:6D:CD, that block was registered by Beijing Winner Microelectronics — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Security context (CVE/abuse history) not checked against a dedicated database — treat as Unknown, not confirmed-clean. Two OUI blocks plus a named product line are sufficient substance to finalize as a consolidated vendor entry rather than treating as a shell.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium

Beijing Winner Microelectronics Co.,Ltd. holds two confirmed MA-L OUI blocks — 28:6D:CD and C8:58:6A — both registered to the same organization name and Haidian District, Beijing address in IEEE's public the IEEE MA-L registry, and cross-confirmed in the parallel the Wireshark manufacturer database mapping file. Unlike a bare single-block registrant, Winner Micro is an identifiable IC design house with a named embedded Wi-Fi product line: the W500 low-power multi-mode Wi-Fi SoC, the W600 802.11b/g/n Cortex-M3 Wi-Fi SoC (QFN32 package), and the W601 Wi-Fi MCU with LCD-driver support. These chips ship in third-party smart-plug, lighting, appliance, health-monitoring, toy, wireless-A/V, and industrial-control hardware — corroborated independently by a Seeed Studio W600 module hardware-design guide and a PR Newswire release announcing the W600 SDK, neither of which originates from Winner Micro itself. No MA-M (the IEEE MA-M registry) or MA-S (the IEEE MA-S registry) registrations exist for this org; only unrelated companies share the substring "Winner" in those files. No adverse security findings surfaced in general web search, but that was not checked against a dedicated CVE database, so it stays Unknown rather than asserted clean.

Verified sample prefixes
28:6D:CD, C8:58:6A (both MA-L, same org/address) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, :33480
Registration date
Unknown / not applicable — IEEE's the IEEE MA-L registry publishes no assignment/registration-date field (columns are Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address only); no date attributed to IEEE for either block [Confirmed absence] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Third-party device corroboration
independent (non-vendor) sources confirm the W600 ships in real third-party hardware — a Seeed Studio module hardware-design guide and a PR Newswire SDK-release article [Confirmed] — https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/W600_Module/res/W600%20HardwareDesignGuide_v1.0.1.pdf; https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/winner-micro-releases-their-new-sdk-for-iot-wi-fi-soc-w600-which-will-shake-the-iot-market-300780168.html
Security context
no adverse CVE/abuse findings surfaced in general web search, but not checked against a dedicated CVE database [Unknown]
Related vendors
none identified [Unknown]
Analyst note
two independent MA-L blocks plus a named, third-party-corroborated Wi-Fi SoC product line establish this as a substantive registrant, not a bare single-OUI shell — appropriate to finalize as a consolidated vendor entry.
