MEIZU Technology Co., Ltd. — 4 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- MEIZU Technology is registered to MAC prefix
38:BC:1Aand 3 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with38: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.
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
- MEIZU Tech Bldg., Technology & Innovation Coast, Zhuhai, Guangdong, CN 519085 [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L
- Company status
- active — Meizu Technology Co., Ltd., founded 2003, Chinese consumer-electronics maker (smartphones, Flyme OS; more recent XR and EV-related ventures) [Likely] — https://www.meizu.com/global, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meizu
- Device types
- smartphones (primary, per third-party OUI aggregator); no confirmed per-prefix device mapping [Likely] — https://www.netify.ai/resources/macs/brands/meizu
- Notable products
- Meizu smartphone lines generally; no specific model verified against these 4 prefixes [Unknown] — none found
- Verified sample prefixes (all MA-L, MEIZU Technology Co., Ltd.)
- 38:BC:1A, 5C:CD:7C, 68:3E:34, 90:F0:52 [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (repo master); independently cross-checked at https://www.netify.ai/resources/macs/brands/meizu
- 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
- Related vendors
- 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.
