Motorola Solutions Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. — 3 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Motorola Solutions Malaysia Sdn. Bhd is registered to MAC prefix
10:74:6Fand 2 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with10:74:6F, that block was registered by Motorola Solutions Malaysia Sdn. Bhd — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Mission-critical/public-safety communications hardware class (LMR radios, video security cameras, broadband PTT devices), not consumer IoT. No vendor-specific abuse/spoofing pattern found. Unexpected appearance on a general corporate LAN may warrant asset-inventory follow-up given the device class, but the vendor itself is a legitimate, long-established public-safety technology maker.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 10:74:6F, 9C:86:2B, or B8:E2:8C belongs to Motorola Solutions Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., the Penang-based manufacturing and R&D subsidiary of Motorola Solutions, Inc. The prefixes are typically seen on the company's professional mission-critical communications hardware — two-way radios, broadband push-to-talk devices, and video security equipment — rather than consumer electronics.
IEEE's OUI registry lists three independent MA-L assignments to this exact legal entity, all registered to the same Penang address: Innoplex, No. 2A, Medan Bayan Lepas, Bayan Lepas Technoplex. Holding multiple independent blocks, rather than a single bare registration, is itself a signal of an established manufacturer rather than a shell or reseller registration.
Motorola Solutions Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. was incorporated in 1997 (Malaysian company registration 0455657H) and operates one of Motorola Solutions' largest manufacturing and R&D centres outside the US, reportedly producing the large majority of the company's worldwide radio supply. It appears across independent business registries (D&B, Bloomberg, PIKOM) as an active operating subsidiary, not a dormant shell.
No source ties an individual prefix to a specific product line, so device-type attribution stays at the company level: LMR radios, WAVE PTX broadband push-to-talk, and video security hardware developed or manufactured at the Penang facility. IEEE does not publish OUI registration dates; a third-party "25 April 2020" date on maclookup.app is a database artifact and should not be cited as an IEEE fact.
