Pointmobile MAC Prefixes: Registry Assignment Identified

- Pointmobile is registered to MAC prefix
64:CB:A3and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with64:CB:A3, that block was registered by Pointmobile — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 64:CB:A3 or 00:24:06 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to Pointmobile; the record does not identify a particular device or product. Point Mobile describes its business as manufacturing enterprise and industrial mobile devices, with products including mobile computers, rugged smartphones, handheld terminals, tablets, RFID and Bluetooth scanners, and POS systems.
Each assignment is 24 bits long, so matching requires the first three octets. The remaining 24 bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values per prefix; that is a value space, not a count of devices or shipments. Both prefixes have Group and Local bits set to zero in their first octet. Changing either bit produces a different prefix, rather than a variation within the exact assigned prefix.
The company says it supplied OEM/ODM products through 2012 and launched its own brand in 2013. Its page lists supply agreements with Honeywell, CASIO, and Amazon. These company-level facts do not establish that any listed product or partner uses either prefix. A captured matching address supports the registry assignment only; it does not establish device model, operating system, deployment, current vendor identity, or security state.
