Netronix — 3 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning 00:08:54 most likely belongs to Netronix, Inc., the Taiwan-based ODM behind Kobo and other e-ink e-reader hardware. The other two prefixes this site groups under the "Netronix" name — 00:00:14 and 00:E0:7D — carry the same or a similar registrant name in IEEE's records but lack the same level of verified corroboration.

This vendor-netronix page is a slug-level grouping, not one company's multi-block allocation. IEEE's OUI registry lists 00:08:54 as "Netronix, Inc." (Taiwan), 00:00:14 as "NETRONIX" (Petaluma, CA), and 00:E0:7D as "NETRONIX, INC." (Brea, CA) — three separate registrations that this site's name-normalization logic buckets together, so the three prefixes should not be treated as evidence of a single company holding three blocks.

Only 00:08:54 clears the bar for a substantive, identifiable company: Netronix, Inc. was founded in Taiwan in June 1997 and is a known original design manufacturer for e-ink e-readers (including Kobo devices, formerly built for Barnes & Noble and Bookeen), digital signage, e-badges, and electronic shelf labels, with an FCC grantee filing on record.

The Brea, CA registration (00:E0:7D) shares the "NETRONIX, INC." name and could plausibly be an earlier or US-side registration by the same company, but no independent or device-level evidence ties it to a specific product. The Petaluma, CA registration (00:00:14) has no corroborating context at all beyond the bare IEEE row — no product, device type, or company website was found.

IEEE assignments

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI) for each of the three prefixes; grouped under one "vendor-netronix" slug by this site's name-normalization logic, not a single company's multi-block IEEE allocation [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry; this site's own tooling

Company substance (00

08:54): Netronix, Inc., Taiwan, founded June 1997; identifiable ODM for e-ink e-readers (Kobo; formerly Barnes & Noble / Bookeen), digital signage, e-badges, electronic shelf labels [Likely] — https://www.netronixinc.com/company_01-En.html, https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=263735, https://goodereader.com/blog/e-paper/e-ink-and-netronix-form-a-new-e-reader-company, https://fccid.io/NOIKB-E60QP2 (Taiwan entity generally corroborated; not device-matched to this exact prefix)

Company substance (00

E0:7D): Registrant name "NETRONIX, INC." at a Brea, CA address — plausibly a US-side registration by the same Taiwan company, but no independent or device-level corroboration found; third-party lookup sites only restate the bare IEEE row [Unknown] — https://www.cleancss.com/mac-lookup/00-E0-7D, https://hwaddress.com/oui-iab/00-E0-7D/, https://maclookup.app/macaddress/00E07D

Company substance (00

00:14): Registrant name "NETRONIX" at a Petaluma, CA address — no product, device-type, website, or corroborating context found beyond aggregator restatements of the IEEE row [Unknown] — the IEEE MA-L registry (no external corroboration found)

Registration dates

not published by IEEE for any of the three blocks; IEEE's the IEEE MA-L registry schema carries only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address — no date column [Confirmed] — IEEE OUI registry schema

Security context

no CVEs, advisories, or vendor-specific security research found for any of the three prefixes in this search pass [Unknown] — no hits found
