New POS Technology Limited — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address starting 00:25:7E or 18:B6:F7 belongs to New POS Technology Limited (also branded NEWPOS or NEWPOSTech), a Shenzhen, China-based manufacturer of EFT-POS payment terminals. On a network, devices carrying these prefixes are most likely retail card-payment hardware, not laptops, phones, or general IT equipment.

The company holds two separate IEEE MA-L (large, 24-bit OUI) block assignments — 00:25:7E and 18:B6:F7 — both registered to addresses in Shenzhen, Guangdong. Holding multiple independent OUI blocks under one registrant name is typical of an active hardware manufacturer that outgrew its first address space, rather than a one-off or shell registration.

Corporate research corroborates a real, operating company: founded 2007, roughly 500-1,000 employees, and reported revenue around $103M per business-data aggregators. The company's own site (newpostech.com) describes R&D, manufacturing, sales, and support for EFT-POS terminals, and the PCI Security Standards Council's official PTS POI device listings name specific NEWPOS models — NEW8210 and NEW7210 — with vendor-authored security policy documents dated 2018-08-24.

No CVE or public breach disclosure naming New POS Technology or NEWPOS devices was found. That is an absence of findings, not a clean bill of health — POS terminals as a device class are a known target for POS-focused malware and default-credential abuse industry-wide, but no vendor-specific incident is documented here.

Neither maclookup.app's "date registered" values (2009-03-14 for 00:25:7E, 2019-03-12 for 18:B6:F7) nor any other third-party lookup date should be treated as an IEEE fact — IEEE's public OUI registry publishes no assignment or registration dates for any prefix.

Security note

no CVE or breach disclosure specifically naming New POS Technology / NEWPOS was found; class-level POS-malware risk (e.g. FindPOS, CenterPOS, PunkeyPOS) applies to the device category industry-wide, not this vendor specifically

Analyst note

two independent OUI assignments plus PCI PTS-listed named device models constitute verifiable company substance beyond a bare IEEE registration, so this entry proceeds past the single-OUI-shell abstention threshold.
