The Chamberlain Group, Inc. — 4 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- The Chamberlain Group is registered to MAC prefix
0C:95:05and 3 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with0C:95:05, that block was registered by The Chamberlain Group — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A device on these prefixes is almost certainly a Chamberlain/LiftMaster myQ unit — a consumer/SMB IoT endpoint making outbound calls to myQ cloud. Presence on an enterprise segment is anomalous and warrants review; treat as an exposed IoT device, not infrastructure.
About this vendor.
The Chamberlain Group, Inc. holds four IEEE MA-L (24-bit OUI) blocks — 0C:95:05, 44:11:46, 64:52:99, and CC:6A:10 — all registered to the company at its 300 Windsor Drive, Oak Brook, Illinois headquarters. Chamberlain is a US manufacturer of intelligent access solutions, selling residential and commercial garage door openers and gate operators under the Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Merlin, and Grifco brands, all of which connect through its myQ smart-home cloud platform. Devices carrying these prefixes are almost always Wi-Fi-enabled myQ endpoints: smart garage hubs, Internet gateways (LiftMaster 828LM, Chamberlain CIGBU), smart garage controls (myQ-G0401), and door/gate controllers. They are consumer/SMB IoT units that join a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and initiate outbound connections to myQ cloud services, talking to door sensors over proprietary RF — they are not networking infrastructure, so their appearance on an enterprise segment is worth a second look. A separate, older MA-L block, 00:15:25, is registered to "Chamberlain Access Solutions" at a Scottsdale, Arizona address and appears to be a legacy or predecessor entity rather than the modern Oak Brook company. The product line also carries a documented security history (RF jamming and earlier encryption gaps on myQ), so OUI-based asset classification should be paired with awareness that these are exposed IoT devices, not trusted infrastructure.
