Fujian Start Computer Equipment Co., Ltd. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Fujian Start Computer Equipment Co., Ltd. (福建实达电脑设备有限公司) is a Fuzhou-based Chinese computer-hardware maker that holds two separate IEEE MA-L (24-bit OUI) assignments — 00:0B:00 and 98:29:3F — both registered at the same No.68 Hongshanyuan Road address in Gulou District, Fuzhou, Fujian (postal 350002). The two registry rows differ only in the capitalization and punctuation of the org name and the exact formatting of the address, and Wireshark's derived the Wireshark manufacturer database lists both prefixes under the same short name ("FujianStartC"), which is why treating them as one consolidated vendor is the correct model rather than two near-identical per-prefix pages. Public trade and partner listings describe the company as a long-running OEM/ODM whose product line centers on thin-client / network-computer terminals, POS and electronic-payment terminals, and impact dot-matrix printers, with a broader catalog extending to desktops, laptops, tablets, workstations, and servers sold largely into Chinese government, finance, telecom, education, and transport verticals. It is a distinct legal entity from the similarly-named Fuzhou vendors "Fujian Newland Payment Technology" and "Fujian Star-Net / Ruijie" (both separate OUI registrants). No IEEE registration date is available for either prefix — IEEE publishes none for OUI/MA-L assignments — and no CVEs, advisories, or abuse reporting could be tied specifically to this vendor or these two prefixes, so its security history is best recorded as "no findable public record" rather than "no risk."

IEEE assignment

2 prefixes → Fujian Start Computer Equipment Co., Ltd., registered Fuzhou, Fujian, CN [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (rows 000B00 and 98293F)

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI); both assignments are MA-L [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry; cross-checked in the Wireshark manufacturer database (Wireshark). NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date; any "date registered" on third-party lookup tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

Verified prefixes (both MA-L)

00:0B:00, 98:29:3F [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry; corroborated in the Wireshark manufacturer database under "FujianStartC / Fujian Start Computer Equipment Co.,Ltd"

HQ / country

No.68 Hongshanyuan Road, Hongshan, Gulou District, Fuzhou, Fujian 350002, CN [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L registry address (both rows); live page mac/vendor/fujian-start-computer-equipment/index.html

Company status

active [Likely] — Intel Partner Showcase storefront, Bloomberg company profile (FSCZ:CH), live B2B trade listings (pcexporters.com, tradebrio.com)

Device types

thin-client / network-computer terminals, POS / electronic-payment terminals, impact dot-matrix printers; broader OEM line lists desktops, laptops, tablets, workstations, servers [Likely] — intel.com partner storefront; tradebrio.com ("thin client network computer" manufacturer)

Company identity

Chinese OEM/ODM operating since 1988 per its own marketing copy; sells mainly into Chinese government/finance/telecom/education/transport verticals; distinct from Fujian Newland Payment and Fujian Star-Net/Ruijie

[Likely] — intel.com partner page; pcexporters.com; single-source marketing claims tagged Likely

No MA-M / MA-S

no 36-bit (MA-M/MA-S) assignments found for this org in the IEEE MA-M registry or the IEEE MA-S registry [Confirmed] — the cached registry snapshots lookup

Registration date

Unknown — IEEE publishes no OUI/MA-L assignment dates; no date field exists in the cached registry for either prefix [Confirmed] — IEEE OUI data format

Security context

no CVEs, advisories, or abuse/malware reports found tied to this vendor or the two prefixes; targeted searches surfaced only unrelated vendors (Dell Wyse, HP ThinPro, etc.). Record as "no findable public record," not "no risk." [Unknown] — web search returned no vendor-specific hits

Analyst note

an 00:0B:00 or 98:29:3F OUI on a globally-administered address identifies genuine Fujian Start hardware (typically thin-client/terminal networking gear); absence does not mean "not Fujian Start," and OUI alone should not drive access control.
