Microlink Communications Inc. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Microlink Communications is registered to MAC prefix
00:0C:55and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:0C:55, that block was registered by Microlink Communications — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Two MA-L blocks under an identical registrant name/address, plus independently-sourced FCC filings for Bluetooth/tablet/wireless-card hardware under the same company name, support treating this as a substantive multi-prefix vendor rather than a bare single-OUI shell; the FCC filing address does not exactly match the OUI registry address so single-entity certainty is Likely, not Confirmed.
About this vendor.
A MAC address starting with 00:0C:55 or 00:19:1F belongs to Microlink Communications Inc., a Taiwan-based hardware maker, and is most plausibly seen on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi network-interface modules rather than a single consumer product line.
The IEEE registry carries two MA-L (/24) assignment keys — 000C55 and 00191F — under the identical registrant name and registered address (8F, 31 Hsintai Road, Hsinchu, Taiwan 302). Two independently-registered blocks under one identical name/address is meaningfully more substance than a bare single-OUI registration.
Independent corroboration comes from the FCC: a Taiwan-based "Microlink Communications Inc." holds FCC grantee code ZUJ, with equipment-authorization filings for an HP-branded portable Bluetooth speaker, a tablet, and a PCI Express Mini Card (a likely WLAN/Bluetooth combo module) filed 2011-2012. These device types fit a company that would also hold MAC-address blocks for network interfaces.
One discrepancy keeps this at Likely rather than Confirmed: the FCC filing address (Tucheng City) differs from the OUI registry address (Hsinchu). Same legal name and same country, but single-entity identity across the two addresses was not conclusively proven — it could be a HQ-versus-facility split, an address change over time, or a distinct same-named entity.
Two other organizations share the "Microlink" name but are unrelated to this vendor and hold separate registry keys: Microlink Corporation (Los Angeles, US) and OOO Microlink-Svyaz (Moscow, Russia). No CVE is recorded in the NVD, and no botnet or malware association was found for this vendor name or these prefixes, as of an August 2026 search.
