Billion Electric Co., Ltd. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning with 00:04:ED or 60:03:47 belongs to Billion Electric Co., Ltd., a Taiwan-based networking equipment manufacturer, typically seen on BiPAC-branded DSL gateways and cellular broadband routers.

The IEEE OUI registry lists two independent MA-L (24-bit) assignments for the company: 00:04:ED and 60:03:47. Both registrations cite the same New Taipei City building at 8F., No.192, Sec. 2, Zhongxing/Chung Hsing Rd. — a minor romanization variant, not a different address. No MA-M or MA-S sub-block assignments were found for either registration.

Billion Electric's public product line runs under the BiPAC brand: xDSL gateways and 3G/4G-LTE/5G broadband VPN routers, including outdoor IP67-rated cellular models. Press releases from 2016 and 2021 confirm an active, ongoing product cadence rather than a single legacy filing.

Two recent CVEs tie current hardware to the vendor: CVE-2024-11980 (missing authentication, CVSS 3.1 8.6 HIGH) and CVE-2024-11983 (OS command injection via the SSH function, CVSS 3.1 7.2 HIGH), both published 2024-11-29 against the M100/M150/M120N/M500 model line — evidence the company still ships and supports networking hardware as of late 2024.

Neither OUI is an IEEE shared/sub-allocated base, so no shared-base disclaimer applies. IEEE's public OUI data carries no assignment date for either block, and none is asserted here.

Analyst note

two independent OUI assignments, a sustained public product line (2016–2021 press releases), and named CVEs (2024) against current hardware place Billion Electric beyond a bare single-OUI shell registration — a genuine, identifiable Taiwan networking-equipment vendor for MAC-based classification purposes [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-11980, https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210907005352/en/Billion-Electric-Launches-New-Outdoor-Router-for-5G-and-VR-Applications
