NEGATIVE FINDING: there is no IEEE MA-L, MA-M, or MA-S registrant under the name "Getac" in the IEEE registry as of 2026-06-11 — a grep of oui.csv, mam.csv, and oui36.csv for "getac" returns zero rows. Getac therefore does NOT own an OUI under its own brand; the prefixes array stays empty by design. The most likely OUI source for older Getac hardware is the company's former name, "MiTAC Technology Corporation," which holds MA-L 00:22:20 (registered Mitac Technology Corp, Taipei, TW) and was used until the 2009 rebrand to Getac. Getac was established in 1989 as a joint venture with GE Aerospace, merged with MiTAC International's notebook division in 1998 (becoming MiTAC Technology Corporation), and renamed Getac Technology Corporation in 2009; it remains a subsidiary of the MiTAC group. Its devices are rugged laptops, rugged tablets, rugged handhelds, and in-vehicle computers for field service, military, public safety, and utilities. The analyst point: a "Getac" OUI does not exist, so a Getac rugged device most likely surfaces under the legacy MiTAC Technology Corporation block (00:22:20), another MiTAC International block, or — for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth — its chipset/ODM vendor's OUI (e.g., Intel, Qualcomm, MediaTek). For triage, treat it as a rugged mobile endpoint in field, public-safety, utility, or military use that may roam across cellular and Wi-Fi, and do not expect a brand-named Getac prefix.
- IEEE assignment
- NONE under "Getac" — zero MA-L/MA-M/MA-S rows for "getac" in the IEEE registry as of 2026-06-11 (oui.csv/mam.csv/oui36.csv) [Confirmed — negative finding] — IEEE registry
- Likely OUI source
- legacy MA-L 00:22:20 "Mitac Technology Corp" (Getac's former name, used until 2009); also broader MiTAC International blocks (e.g., 00:40:D0, 00:22:4D) and chipset/ODM vendor OUIs for Wi-Fi/BT [Likely] — IEEE registry (oui.csv)

- rugged laptops, rugged tablets, rugged handhelds, in-vehicle computers (field service, military, public safety, utilities) [Confirmed] — getacgroup.com
- Notable products
- Getac rugged laptops/tablets/handhelds, in-vehicle computers
- Verified prefix sample
- none (no Getac registrant); legacy candidate is 00:22:20 "Mitac Technology Corp" [Confirmed — negative finding] — IEEE registry
- Special note
- NEGATIVE FINDING — Getac owns no brand-named OUI; legacy gear most likely surfaces under MiTAC Technology Corporation (00:22:20) or other MiTAC blocks, modern Wi-Fi/BT under chipset/ODM OUIs. Major rugged-computing peer to Panasonic Toughbook and Zebra. The IEEE registry publishes no assignment dates, so none is stated here. [Confirmed]
- Related vendors
- MiTAC (parent group; legacy OUI holder), Panasonic/Zebra (rugged peers)
- Analyst note
- No "Getac" OUI exists — a Getac rugged device most likely shows the legacy MiTAC Technology Corporation block (00:22:20), another MiTAC block, or a chipset/ODM vendor OUI for Wi-Fi; treat as a mobile endpoint that may roam across cellular and Wi-Fi.
