MAC address vendor

MultiTech Systems, Inc. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
00:08:00
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
MultiTech Systems is registered to MAC prefix 00:08:00 and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:08:00, that block was registered by MultiTech Systems — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Two dedicated OUI blocks both resolve to genuine MultiTech M2M/IoT hardware with named, versioned products independently corroborated in NVD; treat as a substantive vendor, not a bare registration.

About this vendor.

A MAC address starting with 00:08:00 or 00:80:00 belongs to MultiTech Systems, Inc., typically seen on cellular and LoRaWAN M2M/IoT connectivity hardware — modems, routers, and gateways — rather than general consumer devices.

MultiTech Systems, Inc. is headquartered at 2205 Woodale Drive, Mounds View, Minnesota, with additional offices in Toronto, Weybridge (UK), and Seoul. The company describes itself as delivering innovation for more than 50 years, and holds two dedicated MA-L OUI assignments — 00:08:00 and 00:80:00 — registered to the same address.

Its product lines span cellular gateways, modems and routers, embedded modems, Private LTE CBRS equipment, and LoRaWAN gateways, modules, and wireless sensors, managed through software including Device Manager, mPower, DeviceHQ, and LENS. Named, versioned products such as Conduit, Conduit AP, FaxFinder, and MultiConnect eCell/rCell appear independently in public vulnerability records.

Three CVE-attributed vulnerabilities are recorded against named MultiTech products: an OS command injection in Conduit gateway firmware (CVE-2020-7594), a CSRF flaw in Conduit AP firmware (CVE-2023-25201), and a SQL injection issue in FaxFinder software (CVE-2018-17562), patched in FaxFinder 5.1.6. These confirm the hardware ships and sees real-world security scrutiny.

IEEE's public OUI registry publishes no assignment or registration date for these blocks. Third-party MAC lookup sites show dates for this OUI, but those are database-snapshot artifacts, not IEEE facts, and are not repeated here as a registration date.
