HUMAX Networks, Inc. — 5 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning with 28:25:5F, 3C:71:4B, 48:E2:AD, A8:40:F8, or BC:9A:8E belongs to HUMAX Networks, Inc., a South Korean networking-equipment maker, and typically identifies broadband gateway or Wi-Fi hardware such as DOCSIS, GPON, or XGS-PON modems, Wi-Fi 6/7 access points, or 5G fixed-wireless-access CPE.

HUMAX Networks is a separate IEEE registrant from "HUMAX Co., Ltd." — the older parent company, already published on this site under vendor-humax with 35 of its own MA-L prefixes. HUMAX Networks, Inc. was incorporated on 2019-11-26 as a spin-off that took over the parent's networking and broadband-CPE business line, per its own corporate site and an independent EMIS company-registry profile.

The company maintains an active corporate site, a published sustainability report, a LinkedIn presence, and named product lines covering DOCSIS/GPON/XGS-PON/10G-EPON gateways, Wi-Fi 6/7 access points, 5G FWA CPE, and LoRa gateways — evidence of a functioning manufacturer rather than a bare single-OUI shell.

Publicly disclosed CVEs (CVE-2017-11435, CVE-2017-7315) affect Humax-branded Wi-Fi routers, but these predate the 2019 spin-off and are attributed to "Humax Digital" and the HG100R router line specifically. No advisory names HUMAX Networks, Inc. or these five OUI prefixes directly, so a security link to this registrant's current hardware is Unknown.

IEEE's public OUI registry publishes no assignment or registration date for any of these five blocks. Third-party lookup tools sometimes list per-prefix "registered" dates, but those are database-crawl artifacts rather than IEEE facts, and none is recorded here.

Address note

4 of 5 rows omit the space in "216Hwangsaeul-ro" (only BC:9A:8E carries "216 Hwangsaeul-ro") — this is a verbatim IEEE data artifact, not a transcription choice [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
