Mobiwire Mobiles (NingBo) Co., LTD — 10 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Mobiwire Mobiles is registered to MAC prefix
E4:FB:8Fand 9 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins withE4:FB:8F, that block was registered by Mobiwire Mobiles — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Ten distinct MA-L block assignments plus an identifiable ODM manufacturer with product/partner context clears the abstain-on-shells bar for this vendor — not a bare single-OUI registration.
About this vendor.
A MAC address starting with one of ten prefixes registered to Mobiwire Mobiles (NingBo) Co., LTD — including E4:FB:8F, 58:25:7A, E0:48:D3, and F8:ED:AE — belongs to a Chinese ODM mobile-device manufacturer, typically seen on white-label feature phones, smartphones, and payment terminals rather than end-user branded consumer electronics.
The company traces to Fenghua, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China, and is reported (Wikipedia, company-profile sources) to descend from Sagetel Mobiles / Ningbo Bird Sagem Electronics, recapitalized in 2011 out of the Sagem Wireless bankruptcy under MobiWire SAS (Nanterre, France). That Sino-French lineage is corroborating but not independently primary-sourced in this pass.
IEEE's cached MA-L registry (the IEEE MA-L registry) shows ten confirmed prefixes for this org across three name-spelling variants and two address formats, with no MA-M or MA-S entries — ten distinct block assignments is itself evidence of an active, ongoing manufacturer rather than a one-off shell registration.
Reported carrier/brand partners (Vodafone, Orange, SFR) and a relationship with Transsion Holdings appear in secondary sources but are not confirmed against a primary company or carrier source. No vendor-specific security advisories or incident history were found. The exact registrant string could not be cross-checked against the primary standards-oui.ieee.org text file in this pass — the fetch returned no match, most likely due to file-size truncation rather than genuine absence, since multiple independent third-party MAC databases (which normally source from the same IEEE list) agree with the cached CSV.
- IEEE assignment
- 10 MA-L prefixes registered under three org-name spelling variants (MOBIWIRE MOBILES (NINGBO) CO.,LTD / MOBIWIRE MOBILES(NINGBO) CO.,LTD / Mobiwire Mobiles (NingBo) Co., LTD) and two address formats, all resolving to Fenghua, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (IEEE MA-L)
- Registry / block size
- MA-L; 10 confirmed prefixes for this org, no MA-M or MA-S entries found in the cached registry [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry. NOTE: IEEE publishes no assignment/registration date; third-party aggregator "date registered" values (maclookup.app, udger.com, itool.co — spanning 2016–2024) are database artifacts, not IEEE facts, and are not recorded here.
- HQ / country
- No.999 Dacheng (East) Road, Fenghua District/City, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China 315500, CN [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
- Company status
- reported active ODM manufacturer; Sino-French heritage traced to a 2011 recapitalization of Sagem Wireless / Sagetel Mobiles under MobiWire SAS (Nanterre, France) [Likely] — en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MobiWire, globalsources.com company profile
- Device types
- feature phones, smartphones, and payment terminals, shipped white-label/ODM to carriers and brands [Likely] — globalsources.com, aggregator descriptions (udger.com, hwaddress.com)
- Notable products / partners
- carrier/brand partners reported to include Vodafone, Orange, SFR; a relationship with Transsion Holdings is also reported [Likely, single-source-class secondary reporting] — en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MobiWire

- Primary-source cross-check
- not independently confirmed against the standards-oui.ieee.org master text file in this pass (fetch returned no match, likely due to file-size truncation of the large registry rather than genuine absence); multiple independent third-party databases that normally source from the same IEEE list agree with the cached CSV[Unknown / unconfirmed] — W1-web angle notes
- Registration date
- Unknown — no date field in IEEE's MA-L data; no placeholder invented [Confirmed absence, per policy] — the IEEE MA-L registry
