M2Motive Technology Inc. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- M2Motive Technology is registered to MAC prefix
00:A2:65and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:A2:65, that block was registered by M2Motive Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A MAC starting 00:A2:65 or FC:06:ED can be described as M2Motive-registered hardware without a shared-base caveat, since both blocks are dedicated, not shared. The automotive-telematics device class, however, rests on the vendor's own site rather than independent verification, so treat specific device identification as Likely, not Confirmed.
About this vendor.
A MAC address starting with 00:A2:65 or FC:06:ED belongs to M2Motive Technology Inc., a Shanghai-based vendor, and typically appears on automotive telematics or connected-vehicle hardware such as vehicle communication and telematics control unit (TCU) modules.
The IEEE OUI registry lists two MA-L (Universally Administered, Large) blocks under M2Motive Technology Inc., both with registered addresses in Shanghai, China: 00:A2:65 (Room 402, No. 125 North Jiangsu Road, Changning District) and FC:06:ED (Room 148, Lane 999, New Two Road, Baoshan District). IEEE does not publish an assignment date for either block.
M2Motive's own site describes the company as an automotive-OEM connectivity provider founded in 2016, building telematics and connected-vehicle hardware and software spanning 4G to 5G. This device-type context is vendor-asserted only — no independent teardown, FCC filing, or product datasheet naming a specific hardware SKU was found to corroborate it, so it is tagged Likely rather than Confirmed.
Four independent third-party OUI databases (macverify.com, hwaddress.com, uic.io, maclookup.app) corroborate both blocks as dedicated M2Motive assignments, not slices of a shared IEEE base like 70:B3:D5. One of those tools, maclookup.app, also displays a "21 February 2017" registration date for FC:06:ED; that is a third-party database field, not an IEEE-published fact, and is not treated as an assignment date here. No CVE, malware association, or security advisory naming M2Motive or either prefix was found as of an August 2026 search.
