MAC address vendor

MEIZU Technology Co., Ltd. — 4 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
38:BC:1A
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
MEIZU Technology is registered to MAC prefix 38:BC:1A and 3 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 38:BC:1A, that block was registered by MEIZU Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
4 confirmed OUI blocks plus an identifiable, active company with real product context (smartphones) place this above the bare single-OUI shell threshold; per-prefix device/model mapping and security history remain unverified.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High

A MAC address beginning with 38:BC:1A, 5C:CD:7C, 68:3E:34, or 90:F0:52 belongs to MEIZU Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese consumer-electronics maker whose products — primarily smartphones — carry these four confirmed IEEE MA-L blocks registered to a Zhuhai, Guangdong address.

Meizu is a real, active company, not a shell registrant: founded in 2003, it ships smartphones under its Flyme OS and has more recently expanded into XR and EV-related ventures, per its own site and its Wikipedia entry. Holding four separate OUI assignments under the identical organization name, independently cross-checked against a third-party OUI aggregator, is itself evidence of an operating hardware vendor rather than a one-off registration.

What isn't established at this level of research is finer-grained. No source maps any individual prefix to a specific Meizu model or product line — the device association is general (smartphones) rather than per-prefix. No security advisories or incidents tied to Meizu hardware or these OUIs turned up in this pass, which is an unchecked gap rather than a confirmed clean record. IEEE's own registry data carries no assignment date for any of the four blocks, and any "date registered" figure from third-party lookup tools should be treated as a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

IEEE assignment
4 prefixes → MEIZU Technology Co., Ltd., registered Zhuhai, Guangdong, CN [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (repo master, rows 9971, 10623, 26408, 34399)
Registry / block size
MA-L (24-bit OUI); 4 IEEE prefixes; no entries in the IEEE MA-M registry (MA-M) or the IEEE MA-S registry (MA-S) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry (repo master); independently corroborated by netify.ai
HQ / country

Registration date
Unknown — IEEE's the IEEE MA-L registry schema (Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address) publishes no assignment/registration date; any third-party "date registered" value for these prefixes is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact
[Confirmed absence of IEEE date field] — IEEE the IEEE MA-L registry schema
Security context
Unknown — no vendor- or OUI-specific security advisories or incidents surfaced in this pass; this is an unchecked gap, not a confirmed clean result [Unknown] — none found

none confirmed [Unknown] — none found
Analyst note
4 confirmed OUI blocks plus an identifiable, active company with real product context (smartphones) place this above the bare single-OUI shell threshold; per-prefix device/model mapping and any security history remain unverified.
