Media Global Links Co., Ltd. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Media Global Links is registered to MAC prefix
00:10:C4and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:10:C4, that block was registered by Media Global Links — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A MAC beginning 00:10:C4 or 04:61:69 indicates registration to MEDIA GLOBAL LINKS CO., LTD., address-matched to the modern broadcast-infrastructure vendor Media Links Co., Ltd. Two independently registered OUI blocks plus a live, product-documented company at the same address indicate genuine company substance rather than a bare registry-only entry. No security advisories or malware associations were found for the vendor's product line as of an August 2026 search; treat that as an unresolved gap for any specific device, not a clean bill of health.
About this vendor.
A MAC address starting with 00:10:C4 or 04:61:69 belongs to MEDIA GLOBAL LINKS CO., LTD., and in practice these prefixes turn up on professional broadcast IP video transport and routing gear rather than consumer or office networking devices.
The company holds two independently registered MA-L blocks — 00:10:C4 and 04:61:69 — both listed under the same organization name and the same Kawasaki, Kanagawa building address. Two separate OUI assignments to one organization is a stronger substance signal than a single bare registration.
That IEEE registry name Likely corresponds to the legal predecessor of Media Links Co., Ltd., a currently operating broadcast-equipment maker headquartered at the same Kawasaki Tech Center address. Medialinks.com itself never displays the string "Media Global Links," so the identity link rests on third-party aggregators (maclookup.app, CBInsights) plus the exact-address match, not a first-party rebrand statement.
Media Links' product line supports that broadcast-industry read: IP video routers/switches (MDX32C, MDX48x6C), IP media gateways (MDP3020 MAX/SFN), Xscend media-over-IP transport modules, and MD8000-series transport systems, used to move UHD/HD/SD video and audio over IP for live broadcast, including Olympics and World Cup transport infrastructure.
No CVE, security advisory, or malware/trojan association is recorded for this vendor's products or for either prefix as of an August 2026 web search. That is a scoped negative — nothing found — not a clean bill of health for any specific deployed device.

- Third-party date caveat
- maclookup.app displays "registered" dates of 22 Apr 1998 (0010C4) and 17 Nov 2015 (046169); these are maclookup.app database artifacts, not IEEE facts — the IEEE-sourced registry (the IEEE MA-L registry) carries no date column at all[Confirmed] — https://maclookup.app/vendors/media-global-links-co-ltd, the IEEE MA-L registry 0010C4, the IEEE MA-L registry 046169
- Shared-base check
- not applicable — both blocks are dedicated MA-L /24s registered solely to this organization, not a large IEEE-RA shared pool sub-allocated to unrelated companies [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry 0010C4, the IEEE MA-L registry 046169
