Primary prefix
18:46:44
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Home Control Singapore is registered to MAC prefix 18:46:44 and 6 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 18:46:44, that block was registered by Home Control Singapore — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Any of the 7 globally-administered prefixes identifies Home Control Singapore / Omni Remotes hardware -- a pay-TV/OTT remote-control or companion peripheral, not network infrastructure.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium

Home Control Singapore Pte Ltd holds seven distinct IEEE MA-L (24-bit) OUI blocks — 18:46:44, 54:A9:C8, 60:74:B1, 98:06:3A, 68:F4:4B, D0:D4:FB, and D4:B8:FF — registered across three Singapore addresses (151 Lorong Chuan; 1 Paya Lebar Link, PLQ 1, #04-01; and 620A Lorong 1 Toa Payoh), a pattern consistent with a manufacturer that re-registered its address as it relocated offices over several product generations, rather than a one-off shell registration. The company trades as "Omni Remotes" under the Omni Devices brand, tracing back to Philips' home-control division (established 1990) before being acquired by Home Control International Limited in April 2015; the parent is publicly listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (1747.HK) and describes itself as holding over 200 patents across five manufacturing sites, shipping remote-control and companion hardware to pay-TV and OTT operators including AT&T, Sky, BT, Vodafone, Liberty Global, and Roku across 40+ countries. Products span the Klip, RC-series, Vino, and Solar One remote lines plus set-top-box/OTT companion hardware, using IR, RF4CE, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi radios with voice-assistant (Google Assistant / Alexa) integration on newer SKUs — a device mix that plausibly explains the multi-OUI footprint, since each Wi-Fi/Bluetooth-equipped product generation needs its own MAC-bearing radio module. The company also holds six FCC equipment authorizations (grantee code 2AADI, 2013–2015) for wireless devices, corroborating the radio-hardware claim independently of the vendor's own marketing material.

IEEE assignment
7 MA-L prefixes → "Home Control Singapore Pte Ltd" [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (lines 7306, 7814, 9712, 11241, 24364, 32979, 38439); cross-confirmed in the Wireshark manufacturer database (short name "HomeControlS")
Registry / block size
MA-L (24-bit OUI each); 7 blocks total; none found in MA-M (the IEEE MA-M registry) or MA-S (the IEEE MA-S registry) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry (no match)
Registered addresses
three distinct Singapore addresses across the 7 blocks — 151 Lorong Chuan, Singapore 556741 (18:46:44, 54:A9:C8, 60:74:B1, 98:06:3A); 1 Paya Lebar Link, PLQ 1, #04-01 (Office 448), Singapore 408533 (68:F4:4B, D0:D4:FB); 620A Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, Singapore 217909 (D4:B8:FF)
[Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Corporate structure
trades as "Omni Remotes" / Omni Devices; originated as Philips' home-control division (est. 1990); acquired by Home Control International Limited in April 2015; parent publicly listed on HKEX (1747.HK) [Likely — corroborated across independent third-party company/finance pages, not IEEE-sourced] — dnb.com, sgpbusiness.com, futunn.com/en/stock/01747-HK
Device types
consumer/pay-TV remote controls and STB/OTT companion hardware — Klip, RC-series, Vino, Solar One product lines; IR/RF4CE/Bluetooth/Wi-Fi radios; Google Assistant/Alexa integration on newer SKUs [Likely] — omnidevices.com
Regulatory corroboration
6 FCC equipment authorizations under grantee code 2AADI (2013–2015) for wireless devices [Confirmed] — fcc.report/company/Home-Control-Singapore-Pte-L-T-D
Named customers / scale
pay-TV/OTT operators cited include AT&T, Sky, BT, Vodafone, Liberty Global, and Roku; >200 patents; five manufacturing sites; 40+ countries [Likely — vendor-sourced marketing claim, not independently audited] — omnidevices.com, futunn.com/en/stock/01747-HK
Security context
no CVEs or advisories found for "Omni Remotes" / Home Control Singapore / Home Control International in a light cve.org / cve.mitre.org search pass [Unknown — absence reflects a light search, not a confirmed clean record] — cve.org, cve.mitre.org
No-date caveat
IEEE the IEEE MA-L registry publishes no assignment/registration date for any of the 7 blocks (columns are only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address); any third-party "date registered" is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry schema
Consolidation note
the entry slug covers all 7 org-matched MA-L blocks as one consolidated vendor entry (same model as other multi-prefix vendor entries) rather than 7 separate per-prefix pages, since none of the 7 are yet present in this site's own enrichment records and all resolve to the same registrant name
[Confirmed] — this site's own enrichment records (no prior rows for these prefixes)
Analyst note
any of the 7 globally-administered prefixes reliably identifies Home Control Singapore / Omni Remotes hardware — a pay-TV/OTT remote-control or companion peripheral, not network infrastructure; low blast-radius device class.
