Technicolor (China) Technology Co., Ltd. — 3 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Technicolor is registered to MAC prefix
1C:E4:DDand 2 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with1C:E4:DD, that block was registered by Technicolor — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Three separate OUI assignments plus a live, address-matched vendor site with a concrete product catalog make this a substantive vendor entry, not a bare single-OUI shell. Device types are vendor-catalog-sourced, not MAC-fingerprint-verified. Do not conflate with the separate, US-registered Technicolor/Vantiva lineage in enrichment/oui/vendor-technicolor.md.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 1C:E4:DD, F0:16:28, or 38:F1:8F belongs to Technicolor (China) Technology Co., Ltd. (特艺(中国)科技有限公司), a Beijing manufacturer of broadband gateways, small-cell base stations, and IP cameras. All three prefixes are typically seen on this company's own networking and surveillance hardware rather than on one flagship consumer product.
IEEE's public OUI registry assigns all three blocks — 1CE4DD, F01628, 38F18F — as separate MA-L /24 allocations to the identical registrant name and address: No.A2181, 2F, Zhongguancun Dongsheng Science and Technology Park, Jia No.18, Xueqing Rd., Haidian District, Beijing, CN 100083. No MA-M or MA-S sub-allocations under this name appear in the IEEE MA-M registry or the IEEE MA-S registry registries, so each /24 is exclusively this registrant's own block, not a shared IEEE base.
The registrant's live corporate site, technicolorchina.com, gives an About-page address that matches the OUI registry address down to the building-plot number, confirming the IEEE registrant is this operating company. The site is current (news through March 2025) and describes an ISO 9001-certified manufacturer with roughly $18.16M in registered capital, a 31-province service network, and a product line spanning home/enterprise gateways, an industrial router, a small-cell base station, PTZ and bullet IP cameras, and set-top boxes.
This entity is distinct from the US-registered "Technicolor CH USA Inc for Telus" and from the Vantiva/legacy-Technicolor family already consolidated in /mac/vendor/technicolor/ — netify.ai's own 112-prefix Vantiva brand page does not list any of these three blocks. No CVE or advisory as of an August 2026 search names this Beijing entity or these prefixes specifically; the well-documented Technicolor CPE vulnerability history belongs to that separate US lineage.
- IEEE assignment
- 3 prefixes → Technicolor (China) Technology Co., Ltd., registered Beijing, CN [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (keys 1CE4DD, F01628, 38F18F)
- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit OUI); 3 IEEE prefixes (~50.3M addresses total, 3 × 16,777,216) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry. No MA-M/MA-S sub-allocations under this registrant found in the IEEE MA-M registry or the IEEE MA-S registry, so each /24 is exclusively owned by this company, not a shared IEEE base.
- HQ / country
- No.A2181, 2F, Zhongguancun Dongsheng Science and Technology Park, Jia No.18, Xueqing Rd., Haidian District, Beijing, CN 100083 (registry address; matches the vendor's own About-page address to the building-plot number) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry; technicolorchina.com/About.aspx?ClassID=2
- Company status
- active — live corporate site with news items dated through March 2025 and a 2024 Technicolor-branded greenhouse-gas-disclosure item [Confirmed] — technicolorchina.com
- Device types
- broadband gateway (home/enterprise/industrial router), small-cell base station, PTZ/bullet IP camera, set-top box [Confirmed, vendor-catalog-sourced] — technicolorchina.com/Product.aspx. No OUI-keyed fingerprint database ties these exact prefixes to a specific model as of an August 2026 search.
- Notable products
- home/enterprise gateway lines, industrial router, small-cell base station, IP camera lines [Confirmed] — technicolorchina.com
- Verified sample prefixes (all MA-L, Technicolor (China) Technology Co., Ltd.)
- 1C:E4:DD, F0:16:28, 38:F1:8F [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry; maclookup.app (3 per-prefix pages, same registrant/address)
- Registration-date caveat
- maclookup.app shows three DIFFERENT "Initial registration" values across the three per-prefix pages (1C:E4:DD: 03 Mar 2026; F0:16:28: 18 Nov 2020; 38:F1:8F: 21 Feb 2024) — these are maclookup.app's own database/crawl timestamps, NOT IEEE-published assignment dates. IEEE's public the IEEE MA-L registry (Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address) publishes no date column at all.[Confirmed] — maclookup.app
- Related vendors
- none identified; explicitly NOT related to Technicolor CH USA Inc for Telus (the IEEE MA-L registry key 2C301A, Georgia US address) or the Vantiva/legacy-Technicolor family (/mac/vendor/technicolor/, ~105 prefixes) — verified no prefix overlap against netify.ai's own 112-prefix Vantiva brand page[Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry; netify.ai
- Secondary registration history
- search-snippet sourcing only (Baidu Baike and a Bloomberg profile both returned HTTP 403 on direct fetch, so this is not independently page-verified) places company registration with the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce at 2004-08-02, business scope covering broadband-access/imaging-video/digital-TV R&D; separate snippets describe it as Technicolor Group's Beijing R&D center, established 2004-10 with 600+ engineers. A separate 1999 Technicolor/Thomson-CITIC-SARFT joint venture ("Beijing Thomson-CITIC Digital Technology Co., Ltd.") doing cable set-top-box R&D was also found nearby; its relationship to this OUI registrant is Unknown — no succession link could be confirmed, so none is asserted either way.[Likely] — search-engine snippet synthesis only
- Security context
- no CVE or advisory names this entity or these three prefixes as of an August 2026 search. The well-documented Technicolor CPE CVE history (SNMP Wi-Fi-credential disclosure, a Broadcom-chipset cable-modem buffer overflow, a UPnP AddPortMapping issue, TD5130v2 command injection, widely-published admin/admin defaults) traces to the separate US-registered Vantiva/Technicolor lineage in /mac/vendor/technicolor/, not to this Beijing entity's own product line.[Confirmed, dated negative] — cvedetails.com Technicolor vendor page
- Analyst note
- Three separate OUI assignments plus a live, address-matched vendor site with a concrete product catalog make this a substantive vendor entry, not a bare single-OUI shell. Device types are vendor-catalog-sourced, not MAC-fingerprint-verified — don't treat these prefixes as confirmed on any specific model. Do not merge or cross-link this entry with the separate, US-registered Technicolor/Vantiva lineage in /mac/vendor/technicolor/.
