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 manufacturer database) 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. The cached IEEE registry shows two address strings for the same registrant — the older "B4 Bldg. Haoshan 1st Industry Park, Shenzhen Guangdong CN 518104" alongside the fuller Nanpu Road form above — both in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, differing only in street detail and postcode, consistent with an address update across registration rounds. All 32 blocks are MA-L; no MA-M (the IEEE MA-M registry) or MA-S (the IEEE MA-S registry) assignments exist for this registrant. Third-party tallies drift slightly (maclookup.app 32, hwaddress.com 34) — the IEEE registry is authoritative.
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 under Single Modular Approval. Documented end products include IP surveillance cameras (RTSP/ONVIF, V360 Pro PTZ and similar). Note that "China Dragon IT Limited" (Hong Kong, chinadragonhk.com) is a DISTINCT company and is not the IEEE registrant.
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]
