Metalligence Technology Corp. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address starting with 00:0B:B6 or 00:50:BF belongs to Metalligence Technology Corp., a Hsinchu, Taiwan-based networking hardware maker, and typically identifies Wi-Fi or ZigBee-based home-gateway and IoT hub hardware rather than enterprise networking gear.

Metalligence holds two exclusive, full MA-L OUI blocks — 00:0B:B6 and 00:50:BF — both registered to the same Hsinchu address. Neither is a shared IEEE Registration Authority base like 70:B3:D5 or 8C:1F:64, so any MAC under either prefix can be attributed to this vendor specifically, not to a pool of unrelated sub-registrants.

Holding two independent OUI grants, rather than a single bare registration, is itself a signal of an operating hardware business. FCC OET equipment-authorization filings under grantee code RU4 (Metalligence Technology Corp.) corroborate this: six distinct filings from 2005–2013 cover a draft-802.11n Wi-Fi mini-card module, a ZigBee Gateway, two ZigBee RF Module variants, a remote controller, and a Personal Video Phone.

A shipped, named product backs this up directly — the SLE111-ML / SLE111GW ZigBee Gateway, documented in a user manual (IEEE 802.15.4 / ZigBee Pro, 2.4GHz) dated in its own metadata to December 2013. Third-party B2B directory listings (Kompass, Taiwantrade, asmag.com) independently describe the same Hsinchu company and its home-networking product line, and a corporate-family reference associates Metalligence (also cited as "Mototech") with Accton Technology Group, alongside Edgecore Networks.

No CVE or malware association naming Metalligence or its OUI prefixes was found as of an August 2026 search; this is a scoped negative, not a guarantee that no vulnerability has ever been disclosed for this hardware.

MA-L (24-bit OUI); holds exactly 2 full IEEE OUI blocks (no MA-M/MA-S found) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry 000BB6, the IEEE MA-L registry 0050BF. NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date; a third-party site (maclookup.app) shows a "registered" date of 2000-11-09 for 00:50:BF, which is a database artifact of that tool, not an IEEE fact.

Special note

00:50:BF's third-party "registered" date (maclookup.app, 2000-11-09) is a database artifact, not an IEEE-published fact; do not surface it as an IEEE registration date. [Confirmed] — https://maclookup.app/macaddress/0050bf/mac-address-details

Analyst note

00:0B:B6 and 00:50:BF are both exclusive full-OUI blocks solely assigned to Metalligence Technology Corp. — unlike shared IEEE RA bases such as 70:B3:D5, no other organization holds addresses under either prefix. FCC filings and a shipped ZigBee gateway manual point to home-networking/IoT hardware specifically, not enterprise gear. No security advisory or malware association was found as of an August 2026 search.
