Kyocera Wireless Corp. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address starting with 00:14:60 or 00:1F:BD belongs to Kyocera Wireless Corp., typically seen on legacy CDMA mobile phones and cellular USB modems sold on US carrier networks (Sprint, Verizon) roughly between 2004 and 2015, plus a couple of CDMA-to-Wi-Fi mobile hotspot routers.

Kyocera Wireless Corp. was Kyocera's US-based CDMA handset and modem division — the former Qualcomm QCT wireless-phone business, which Kyocera acquired in 2000. It holds two IEEE MA-L OUI assignments, 00:14:60 and 00:1F:BD, both registered to "Kyocera Wireless Corp." at 10300 Campus Point Drive, San Diego, CA. Two independent OUI assignments plus documented product history mark this as a substantive company entry, not a bare shell registration.

Documented devices carrying these prefixes include the Kyocera Strobe (K612/K612B), the E3100 "Rio," the C4700 "Cabo," the K127 "Marbl," and the KR1/KR2 CDMA-to-Wi-Fi mobile hotspot routers. Reporting indicates the division was later folded into Kyocera Communications/Kyocera Corp. around 2010, though the OUI records themselves still list the original "Kyocera Wireless Corp." name.

IEEE's own OUI registry publishes no assignment or registration date for either prefix. A third-party lookup tool displays dates (2005-04-14 and 2008-02-02) for the two blocks, but those are database ingestion artifacts from that tool's own crawl pipeline, not IEEE facts. No CVE or security advisory is recorded against this division or these two OUIs as of an August 2026 search; Kyocera CVEs that do exist belong to the unrelated Kyocera Document Solutions printer/MFP line.

Registration-date caveat

IEEE publishes no assignment date for OUIs; a third-party tool's displayed dates (2005-04-14 for 00:14:60, 2008-02-02 for 00:1F:BD) are database ingestion artifacts, not IEEE facts [Confirmed] — https://maclookup.app/vendors/kyocera-wireless-corp

Security context

no CVE or advisory recorded against Kyocera Wireless Corp. hardware or these two OUIs as of an August 2026 search; documented Kyocera CVEs (CVE-2023-25954, CVE-2022-41798/41807/41830, CVE-2023-50196) belong to the separate Kyocera Document Solutions printer/MFP line

Related vendors

KYOCERA Corporation, KYOCERA Display Corporation, Kyocera Document Solutions Inc., Kyocera AVX Components — separate organizations with separate, unrelated OUI assignments [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry 001460, the IEEE MA-L registry 001FBD

Analyst note

both prefixes are wholly-owned /24 blocks, not slices of a shared IEEE base like 70:B3:D5; a MAC in either range indicates a legacy Kyocera CDMA handset or modem, not networking infrastructure [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry 001460, the IEEE MA-L registry 001FBD
