Smart Innovation LLC — 5 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning 04:17:B6, 10:2C:B1, 2C:8D:48, 8C:85:80, or 90:BF:D9 belongs to Smart Innovation LLC, a consumer IoT hardware vendor most often reported on smart plugs, cameras, and similar connected-home gadgets seen on home networks.

The IEEE MA-L registry confirms five distinct 24-bit assignments under this exact registrant name, across two registered addresses: four blocks (04:17:B6, 2C:8D:48, 8C:85:80, 90:BF:D9) list 7F, Tower B, Jianxing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, CN 518055, and one block (10:2C:B1) lists 400 108th Ave NE, Ste 400, Bellevue, WA 98004, US.

Independent state-registry evidence backs an active operating company, not a bare single-OUI shell: Washington's corporate database lists an active Foreign LLC, "Smart Innovation LLC DBA Smart Innovation of Washington LLC," Delaware-incorporated Feb 14 2017, registered agent Meng Yang, industry "Electronics and Appliance Stores," roughly 5 employees, with an address matching the 10:2C:B1 IEEE listing.

Device-type identification is weaker: a single low-authority consumer "unknown device on my network" article names Smart Innovation LLC as the manufacturer label seen on smart plugs, cameras, and other IoT gadgets, but no official vendor product catalog or spec sheet was located, so this is tagged Likely rather than Confirmed.

Two name-similar companies were investigated and ruled out as unrelated: szsmartinnov.com ("Shenzhen Smart Innovation Technology Co., Ltd," promotional keychains/gift items) was not confirmed as the same registrant, and eufy/Anker's "Shenzhen Oceanwing Smart Innovations Technology Co., Ltd" is a separate, unrelated company despite the name overlap. IEEE publishes no registration date for any of the five OUI blocks; a third-party aggregator's "registered 29 March 2017" scrape is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact, and is not recorded as such.

Historic block

None identified — no pre-existing or legacy block found for this registrant [Unknown]

Special note

A third-party OUI-lookup aggregator displayed a "registered 29 March 2017"-style date for the block; this is a database-scrape artifact, not an IEEE-published fact, and is not recorded as an IEEE registration date. IEEE's public the IEEE MA-L registry (Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address) contains no date column.

False leads ruled out

szsmartinnov.com (Shenzhen Smart Innovation Technology Co., Ltd — promotional keychains/gifts) not confirmed as this registrant; Shenzhen Oceanwing Smart Innovations Technology Co., Ltd (eufy/Anker) confirmed as a separate, unrelated company [Confirmed] — eufy.com/california-privacy-notice

Related vendors

Security context

No CVEs or vendor-specific security advisories found [Unknown]

Analyst note

Registry facts (5 MA-L blocks, both addresses) are Confirmed; company-substance and device-type claims rest on secondary/state-registry sources and are tagged Likely — sufficient combined evidence to finalize as a real company, not a bare shell, but do not overstate device-type precision.
