MAC address vendor

Fujian Newland Payment Technology Co., Ltd. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
38:3C:9C
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Fujian Newland Payment Technology is registered to MAC prefix 38:3C:9C and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 38:3C:9C, that block was registered by Fujian Newland Payment Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
A 38:3C:9C / CC:4D:74 MAC identifies a payment terminal (financial-transaction endpoint) on a merchant network, not a router/switch/PC. Legitimate commercial vendor with documented supply chain.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High

Fujian Newland Payment Technology Co., Ltd. (brand name "Newland NPT") holds two MA-L OUI blocks — 38:3C:9C and CC:4D:74 — both registered to the same legal entity at No. B602, Building #1, Haixia Jingmao Plaza, Fuzhou Bonded Area, Fuzhou, Fujian, China. The company is a payment-terminal manufacturer, not a maker of general-purpose networking gear: these prefixes surface in point-of-sale (POS) terminals, PIN pads, smart electronic cash registers, mobile and unattended payment kiosks, and QR-payment devices, all of which embed Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular radios that connect to merchant networks. Newland NPT is a subsidiary of the publicly traded Newland Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen Stock Exchange code 000997, formerly Fujian Newland Computer Co., Ltd.). It is one of the larger POS vendors worldwide — reported as the second-largest by 2017 shipment volume — and its devices carry payment-specific security certifications (PCI PTS, EMV L1/L2, EMV Contactless, and as of 2024 EMVCo Contactless C8). The practical analyst takeaway: a 38:3C:9C or CC:4D:74 MAC seen on a network almost certainly belongs to a financial-transaction endpoint — a payment terminal sitting on a merchant LAN — rather than to a router, switch, or PC. The broader Newland corporate family (Auto-ID, Communication, Computer) holds additional separate OUI blocks, but those are distinct legal entities outside this slug. No IEEE registration date exists for either block; "date registered" values shown by third-party MAC databases are database artifacts, not IEEE facts.
