Lava International — 5 prefixes (MA-L)

Lava International is an Indian consumer-electronics manufacturer that makes smartphones, feature phones, tablets, and accessories sold across South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Across its corporate family it holds five IEEE MA-L (24-bit OUI) blocks registered under three name/address variants: three blocks to "LAVA INTERNATIONAL(H.K) LIMITED" at a Jordan, Kowloon, Hong Kong address (34:8B:75, AC:56:2C, 48:FC:B6), one to "Lava international limited" at the company's Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India headquarters (74:CB:F3), and one to "Lava International Ltd." at a Shanghai, China address (C4:56:FE). IEEE treats these as distinct registrants with distinct addresses, but they are the same operating corporate family. This is a substantive OEM, not a bare shell registration: the multiple allocations reflect an operating manufacturer that ships hardware at volume, and the Hong Kong registrant address matches FCC equipment-authorization grantee code 2AEE8, which covers dozens of named Lava mobile-phone models (LAVASTAR, LAVA A3, LAVA IRIS 80, LAVA R2, and others), several explicitly documenting 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and BLE radios — the exact device class that would burn in a MAC address from one of these blocks. As with all IEEE OUI data, no assignment/registration dates are available: the public registry publishes none, and any "date registered" on third-party MAC lookup tools is a database-scrape artifact, not an IEEE fact.

IEEE assignment

5 prefixes across 3 registrant variants of one corporate family (Lava International) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (the IEEE MA-L registry cached extract)

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI); no MA-M or MA-S (the IEEE MA-M registry / the IEEE MA-S registry) matches found [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry

Verified prefixes

34:8B:75, AC:56:2C, 48:FC:B6 → LAVA INTERNATIONAL(H.K) LIMITED (Unit L 1/F Mau Lam Comm Bldg, 16-18 Mau Lam St, Jordan, Kowloon, Hong Kong, CN); 74:CB:F3 → Lava international limited (A-154D, Sector-63, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, IN 201301); C4:56:FE → Lava International Ltd. (Room 705, Block A, HengYue Building, Shanghai, CN)

[Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

HQ / country

A-154D, Sector-63, Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201301, India (India registrant address; the HK and Shanghai blocks carry their own registry addresses) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L, lavamobiles.com

Company status

active [Confirmed] — lavamobiles.com

Device types

smartphones, feature phones, tablets, accessories [Confirmed] — lavamobiles.com, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lava_International

Notable products

Agni, Blaze, Play Ultra (current lines); LAVASTAR, LAVA A3, LAVA IRIS 80, LAVA R2, LAVA R1, LAVA IRIS 708/600 (FCC-listed models) [Likely] — lavamobiles.com, fccid.io/2AEE8

FCC corroboration

grantee code 2AEE8 registered to "LAVA INTERNATIONAL (H.K) LIMITED" at the same Jordan, Kowloon, Hong Kong address as the OUI records; filings cover named mobile-phone models, several documenting 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi / Bluetooth / BLE radios (LAVA IRIS 80 filing lists Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE, GPS) [Confirmed registrant/address match; device-to-prefix mapping is inference, not first-party] — fccid.io/2AEE8, fccid.io/2AEE8LAVAIRIS80

Registration date

none — IEEE OUI/MA-L registry publishes no assignment dates; any "date registered" on third-party MAC lookup tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (the IEEE MA-L registry columns are Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address only)

IANA reference

not applicable (no IANA RFC reference exists for MAC OUI assignments) [Confirmed]

Security context

no vendor security advisories, CVEs, or abuse/botnet reporting specific to these OUI blocks were found in a light pass — treat as Unknown / none-found, not benign-by-default [Unknown] — lavamobiles.com/faq

Analyst note

A globally-administered Lava OUI on an address identifies genuine Lava hardware; consumer phones may also use MAC randomization, so absence of a Lava OUI does not mean "not Lava." The three registrant entities share branding but are distinct IEEE registrants — do not merge their addresses.
