Breezecom, Ltd. — 3 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning with 00:04:94, 00:20:D6, or 00:10:E7 belongs to Breezecom, Ltd., an Israeli fixed-wireless equipment maker — the hardware it identifies is legacy point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless broadband radio gear, not everyday consumer networking equipment.

Breezecom Ltd. incorporated in Israel in September 1992 and listed on NASDAQ in March 2000 under ticker BRZE. In August 2001 it merged with Floware Wireless Systems Ltd. to form Alvarion. Alvarion itself filed for bankruptcy in 2013, with assets sold off by roughly 2016.

The company's product lines — BreezeACCESS, BreezeNET, BreezeMAX, and BreezeULTRA — were fixed wireless broadband bridges and access radios operating in license-exempt spectrum, later extending to WiMAX 802.16e (BreezeMAX). These targeted ISPs and enterprise wireless backhaul in the late 1990s through 2000s, not home or office LAN devices.

No formal CVE or CERT advisory was found for Breezecom gear, but trade-press and default-password reference sites note that older BreezeNET-era units commonly shipped with blank management credentials and a fixed default IP (10.0.18.1) — a typical weak-default pattern for early-2000s ISP radio equipment still occasionally found deployed.

Analyst note

three separate OUI assignments to the same registrant plus a documented corporate history and product line establish real company substance beyond a bare single-OUI shell — this is legitimate legacy fixed-wireless ISP/enterprise gear, not consumer hardware, and the vendor itself has not existed independently since 2001.
