- 5 independent MA-L blocks under one identifiable, publicly traded company with corroborated product context — treated as a substantive multi-OUI vendor entry, not a bare single-OUI shell.
About this vendor.
A MAC address starting with 00:15:FF, 18:EE:86, 28:80:A2, 78:0C:71, or E0:86:14 belongs to Inseego Wireless, Inc., typically seen on cellular WAN gear — MiFi-branded mobile hotspots, 5G fixed-wireless-access (FWA) routers, and Skyus-branded IoT modems/gateways.
Inseego Wireless, Inc. is the OUI registrant name used by Inseego Corp (Nasdaq: INSG), a publicly traded San Diego, CA company. Company materials describe the brand as the successor to Novatel Wireless, which took the Inseego Corp name in a corporate rename (exact date not verified here).
The registry footprint is five separate MA-L (24-bit) blocks, all registered to the identical organization name and San Diego address — no MA-M or MA-S allocations were found for this registrant. Five independent block assignments plus a corroborated, identifiable product line is the kind of substance that distinguishes this entry from a bare single-OUI shell registration.
On security, Inseego's own marketing claims secure-boot / signed-firmware verification and FIPS 140-3 certified encryption on current hardware — vendor-sourced and not independently verified here. Separately, the predecessor Novatel Wireless brand had independently disclosed vulnerabilities (cleartext WiFi key transmission, unauthenticated GPS/config disclosure) around 2010; those predate the current Inseego Wireless registrant name and are not a claim about current-generation devices.
