Bluegiga Technologies Oy — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning 00:07:80 or 88:6B:0F belongs to Bluegiga Technologies Oy, a Finnish short-range wireless connectivity vendor, and typically identifies Bluetooth or Wi-Fi radio hardware such as an embedded module or USB dongle rather than an end-user computer or phone.

Bluegiga was founded in 2000 and headquartered in Espoo, Finland, building Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity products for embedded and IoT applications. It held Bluetooth SIG membership from founding and joined the Continua Health Alliance in 2008, with sales offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Hong Kong distributing into more than 70 countries.

Silicon Labs acquired Bluegiga on 2015-01-30 for roughly $58-61 million cash. Bluegiga is no longer an independent company, but Silicon Labs continued the Espoo site as a wireless R&D center and, as of a live check of its site, still ships "Bluegiga Legacy Bluetooth Smart Software" and "Bluegiga iWRAP Bluetooth Classic Software" stacks under the Bluegiga name.

Confirmed Bluegiga hardware includes the WT12 Class 2 Bluetooth 2.1+EDR module, the BLE112 Bluetooth Smart/BLE module built on a TI CC2540 radio, and the BLED112 USB BLE dongle. These are embedded/OEM radio modules, not consumer end-devices, so a Bluegiga OUI on a network most often points to an IoT sensor, medical device, or industrial gateway rather than a laptop or phone.

No CVE or vendor security advisory specific to Bluegiga firmware or hardware (WT12, BLE112, BLED112) is recorded as of an August 2026 search; only generic Bluetooth-ecosystem vulnerabilities unrelated to Bluegiga specifically were found. Both 00:07:80 and 88:6B:0F are standard whole-block MA-L registrations, not IEEE shared/sub-allocated bases, so either prefix alone reliably identifies Bluegiga-sourced hardware.

IEEE assignment

2 prefixes (00:07:80, 88:6B:0F) → Bluegiga Technologies OY, registered Espoo, FI [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry 000780, the IEEE MA-L registry 886B0F

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI); holds 2 IEEE prefixes (00:07:80, 88:6B:0F) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry. No date field is published for these prefixes; IEEE's public OUI data carries no assignment/registration date at all — any third-party "date registered" would be a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

HQ / country

P.O. BOX 120 FIN-02631 Espoo, Finland (registry address) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Company status

Acquired by Silicon Labs 2015-01-30 for ~$58-61M cash; no longer independent, but Silicon Labs continues Espoo operations as a wireless R&D center and ships Bluegiga-named software stacks [Confirmed] — news.silabs.com, eetimes.com, sec.gov

Device types

Embedded Bluetooth/Wi-Fi radio modules, USB BLE dongles [Confirmed] — mouser.com, keyglove.net

Notable products

WT12 (Class 2 Bluetooth 2.1+EDR module), BLE112 (Bluetooth Smart/BLE module, TI CC2540 radio), BLED112 (USB BLE dongle) [Confirmed] — mouser.com, keyglove.net

Verified sample prefixes (both MA-L, Bluegiga Technologies OY)

00:07:80, 88:6B:0F [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry; corroborated the Wireshark manufacturer database 00:07:80 / the Wireshark manufacturer database 88:6B:0F (Wireshark the Wireshark manufacturer database DB, short name BluegigaTech)

Shared-base check

Neither 00:07:80 nor 88:6B:0F is an IEEE shared/sub-allocated base (unlike 70:B3:D5-style blocks); both are standard whole-block MA-L registrations to a single organization [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Security note

No CVE or vendor advisory specific to Bluegiga hardware/firmware found as of an August 2026 search [Likely] — cvedetails.com (generic Bluetooth-ecosystem CVEs only, none attributed to Bluegiga specifically)

Related vendors

Silicon Labs (acquirer, continues Bluegiga-branded software stacks) [Confirmed] — silabs.com

Analyst note

A MAC on 00:07:80 or 88:6B:0F reliably identifies genuine Bluegiga-designed Bluetooth/Wi-Fi hardware — typically an embedded module or dongle inside another product rather than a standalone end-user device — since Bluegiga was primarily an OEM/embedded radio vendor.
