MAC address vendor

Green Energy Options Ltd — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
78071C
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Green Energy Options is registered to MAC prefix 78071C and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 78071C, that block was registered by Green Energy Options — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
A MAC starting 78:07:1C or BC:6E:76 identifies Green Energy Options Ltd (geo) hardware from the UK smart-metering ecosystem. Both blocks are dedicated full MA-L /24 allocations, not slices of a shared IEEE base. Do not extend this to the unrelated EBE Mobility & Green Energy GmbH sub-allocation (70:B3:D5:62:4/36) or to the shared base 70:B3:D5.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High  ·  10 sources  ·  How this page is checked

A MAC address starting with 78:07:1C or BC:6E:76 belongs to Green Energy Options Ltd, a UK smart-energy hardware company trading as "geo," and typically identifies a Zigbee-based smart-meter In-Home Display or a related home-network gateway device.

Green Energy Options Ltd holds two separate MA-L (24-bit, full /24) OUI blocks — 78:07:1C and BC:6E:76 — both registered under the same name and address: 3 St. Mary's Court, Main Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, GB CB23 7QS. Two independent dedicated allocations, rather than a single bare registration, point to a company shipping enough distinct networked hardware to need more than one block.

The company, based in Cambridge, England, builds hardware for the UK smart-metering ecosystem: In-Home Displays (including an RNIB-certified Accessible IHD), a Zigbee Home Area Network Extender ("HAN-E"), a Virtual WAN gateway that uses home broadband instead of cellular backhaul, and a Matter-ready device called "SeeZero." Its own site and an independent LinkedIn company page corroborate that it is a real, currently operating business.

No source ties either specific prefix to one named product rather than the other, so the device-type list below is company-wide, not per-block. IEEE's public OUI registry carries no assignment-date field for these two prefixes; a third-party aggregator shows its own database-crawl timestamps for this vendor, which are not IEEE facts and are not reported here as a registration date.

A separate, unrelated company named "EBE Mobility & Green Energy GmbH" (Austria) holds a 36-bit sub-allocation (70:B3:D5:62:4/36) beneath the shared IEEE base 70:B3:D5. That slice belongs only to that Austrian company, not to Green Energy Options Ltd, and the shared base itself belongs to neither.

Registration date
Unknown — IEEE's public OUI data (the IEEE MA-L registry: Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address) publishes no assignment-date field for these prefixes; a third-party aggregator's "First Seen"/"Last Mod" fields are database-crawl artifacts, not IEEE facts
[Unknown] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Historic block
Unknown — no older or additional registration for this company was found in the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, or the IEEE MA-S registry [Unknown]
Special note
registries/oui36.csv holds an unrelated, similarly-named company, "EBE Mobility & Green Energy GmbH" (Austria), as a 36-bit sub-allocation (70:B3:D5:62:4/36) of the shared IEEE base 70:B3:D5; this base and that slice belong to that company, not to Green Energy Options Ltd, and must not be conflated with it
[Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-S registry 70B3D5624
Related vendors
none identified as related; the similarly-named EBE Mobility & Green Energy GmbH (Austria) is confirmed unrelated [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-S registry 70B3D5624
Security context
no CVE, advisory, or documented vulnerability tying a Green Energy Options / geo device to a named security issue found as of an August 2026 search [Unknown]
Analyst note
a MAC starting 78:07:1C or BC:6E:76 identifies Green Energy Options Ltd (geo) hardware from the UK smart-metering ecosystem; both blocks are dedicated full MA-L /24 allocations, not slices of a shared IEEE base, so no shared-base disclaimer applies to them — but do not extend any claim in this entry to the unrelated EBE Mobility & Green Energy GmbH sub-allocation or to the shared base 70:B3:D5
