LG's MAC footprint spans several distinct registrants that should be aliased to one corporate family: "LG Electronics" (~39 blocks; MA-L, MA-M, and MA-S), "LG Electronics (Mobile Communications)" (~77 blocks), "LG Innotek" (~49 blocks), and "LG Electronics NV" (1 block). A representative sample is 64:C2:DE (LG Electronics Mobile Communications), with the registrant addresses in Seoul, South Korea (e.g., the Geumcheon-gu / Gasan-dong address on the Mobile Communications blocks). These OUIs appear on webOS smart TVs, legacy smartphones, ThinQ smart appliances, monitors, soundbars, and IoT, while LG Innotek is a distinct components/camera-module registrant. The corporate-history fact that matters for interpretation: LG announced the closure of its mobile business unit on 5 April 2021, with the wind-down expected to complete by 31 July 2021 — yet the "(Mobile Communications)" registrant holds the most blocks (~77), and those legacy OUIs will persist in the field for years on older LG handsets. For triage, LG OUIs span TVs, appliances, and legacy phones, so context (port profile, hostname) is needed to classify — and an "LG Electronics (Mobile Communications)" OUI on a 2024+ network is most likely an aging LG phone rather than a current device.

- Special note
- The "(Mobile Communications)" registrant holds the most blocks (~77) despite LG exiting phones in 2021 — legacy OUIs persist on older handsets. LG Innotek is a distinct components/camera-module registrant. The IEEE registry publishes no assignment dates, so none is stated here. [Confirmed]
