Katch Asset Tracking Pty Limited — D8:58:C6 (MA-L)

The slug vendor-katch resolves in the IEEE registry to a single MA-L block, D8:58:C6, assigned to "Katch Asset Tracking Pty Limited" at 98 Riley St, Darlinghurst, NSW, AU 2010 — the only "Katch" hit in the cached MA-L registry (oui.csv), with no match in the MA-M (mam.csv) or MA-S (oui36.csv) files. Katch Asset Tracking is a division of Konvoy Group, an Australian company best known for keg fleet management in the beverage industry; its flagship product is the Katch C1, a ruggedised cellular IoT beacon (IP69K/IK10) that reports location, movement, and temperature to the Konvoy Cloud roughly every ten minutes. Note that the C1 is primarily a cellular device, so it is not confirmed from public datasheets which interface (if any) actually bears the D8:58:C6 MAC. There is an important disambiguation caveat: a name search for "Katch" also surfaces an unrelated, much older US entity — Katchall Technologies Group (Cincinnati, OH), which holds an IEEE IAB sub-block, 00:50:C2:07:xx:xx, under the shared IAB parent OUI 00-50-C2. KatchAll's hardware (the TT04 Temperature Data Transceiver, FCC ID OZ2TT04) was legacy proprietary RF gear for food-service/healthcare temperature monitoring; the company was acquired and wound down circa 2001–2002 and no longer operates independently. Because the bare slug is ambiguous, any page must pin the primary entity to the D8:58:C6 MA-L assignment and treat the KatchAll IAB as a separate, clearly-labelled historic footnote rather than conflating the two.

IEEE assignment

Device types

cellular IoT asset-tracking beacons for keg fleet management (beverage/brewery industry); flagship Katch C1 (IP69K/IK10, multi-year battery, reports location/movement/temperature to Konvoy Cloud ~every 10 min). Cellular radio standard (LTE-M / NB-IoT / Sigfox) not confirmed from public datasheets; Konvoy previously partnered with Sigfox on an earlier generation [Likely] — https://good-design.org/projects/katch-c1-cellular-keg-tracking-beacon/ ; https://sigfox.com/konvoy-group-world-first-keg-tracking-technology/

MAC-bearing interface

which (if any) interface on the C1 actually carries the D8:58:C6 OUI is not confirmed — the device is primarily cellular; no public datasheet documents an Ethernet/Wi-Fi MAC [Unknown] — no public datasheet found

Registration date

Unknown — IEEE publishes no OUI assignment dates [Unknown] — IEEE MA-L (no date column)

Disambiguation (separate entity)

"Katch" name search also returns Katchall Technologies Group (5800 Creek Road, Cincinnati, OH 45242, US), holder of IEEE IAB sub-block 00:50:C2:07:xx:xx (range 00:50:C2:07:00:00 – 00:50:C2:07:0F:FF) under shared IAB parent 00-50-C2. Legacy food-service/healthcare temperature-monitoring hardware (TT04 Temperature Data Transceiver, FCC ID OZ2TT04, with 10BaseT Ethernet Commander base station). Company acquired/wound down circa 2001–2002 (KatchAll Industries International acquired by San Jamar 15 Apr 2001; technology division acquired late 2002); no longer independent. Unrelated to the Australian Katch.

Security context

No known CVEs, public advisories, or active threat intelligence found for D8:58:C6 / Katch C1. Profile is a single-purpose, closed-ecosystem IoT tracker reporting outbound to Konvoy Cloud with no documented inbound listener surface. Cellular IoT trackers as a class carry generic risks (SIM swapping, cloud-API weakness, unencrypted uplink), none attributed to Katch/Konvoy specifically. D8:58:C6 MACs seen outside a brewery/keg-fleet context are anomalous and worth investigating (rogue device or MAC spoofing) given the narrow legitimate deployment.

Analyst note

Pin the primary entity to the D8:58:C6 MA-L assignment (Australian Katch / Konvoy). The KatchAll IAB (00:50:C2:07) is a distinct, defunct US company — surface it only as a clearly-labelled historic disambiguation footnote so the two are never conflated.
