China Dragon Technology Limited — 32 prefixes (MA-L); Wi-Fi/BT/IoT modules, OEM/ODM for smart devices
Summary
- // what this is
- China Dragon Technology is registered to MAC prefix
00:7E:56and 31 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:7E:56, that block was registered by China Dragon Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A China Dragon OUI in ARP/DHCP means a device built around a China Dragon Wi-Fi or BT module. Classify as IoT/smart-device (likely consumer or light industrial). No brand-level CVEs known. Apply standard IoT isolation for unidentified endpoints.
About this vendor.
China Dragon Technology Limited (internal shortcode ChinaDragonT in the Wireshark the Wireshark manufacturer database file) is an OEM/ODM electronic component manufacturer founded in 2005 and headquartered at B4 Building, No. 3 First Industrial Zone, Nanpu Road, Lao Community, Xinqian Street, Bao'an District, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518100, China. The company is a high-tech enterprise specialising in radio-frequency communication modules — principally Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth modules, GPS modules, integrated circuits, and sensors — for integration into other manufacturers' products. They sell under the trade style "Cdtech" and hold certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IATF16949, and WCA. The company holds 32 MA-L (OUI/24-bit) blocks in the IEEE registry, representing approximately 536.9 million assignable addresses.
China Dragon does not sell end-user consumer devices under its own brand. Its role is as a chipset/module supplier: its Wi-Fi/BT modules appear inside smart-home devices (cameras, smart plugs, sensors), IoT gateways, automotive electronics, and consumer appliances built by other companies. FCC filings confirm a broad portfolio of IEEE 802.11 modules across multiple generations: 2.4 GHz 802.11n, dual-band 802.11ac (2T2R PCIe), 802.11ac+BT5.0 (SDIO), and ESP32-based 802.11n modules, all designated OEM modules requiring integration by a host manufacturer.
Security posture: no CVEs attributable to China Dragon-branded products were found. General IoT supply-chain concerns (firmware update opacity, telemetry to foreign servers) apply to any component from a Chinese ODM, but these are category-level risks, not documented vendor-specific vulnerabilities. Network segmentation is the standard mitigation for unidentified IoT endpoints bearing a China Dragon OUI.
"Date registered" figures cited by third-party MAC-lookup databases (e.g., "first registered 2018-09-09") are database artifacts — the IEEE does not publish assignment dates for MA-L blocks, so no registration date is recorded here.

- Special note
- Module-OUI flag (32 MA-L blocks). A China Dragon OUI identifies a module manufactured by China Dragon for OEM integration. The device on the network is the OEM host product (smart-home device, IoT sensor, appliance), not a China Dragon branded device. No IEEE assignment dates exist for MA-L blocks; third-party "date registered" database fields are artifacts and are not recorded here. [Confirmed]
- Analyst note
- A China Dragon OUI in ARP/DHCP indicates a device built around a China Dragon Wi-Fi or BT module. Classify as IoT/smart-device (likely consumer or light industrial). Apply standard IoT isolation (VLAN/SSID segmentation) for unknown endpoints. No CVEs attributable to China Dragon modules as of 2026-06-19.
