Unex Technology Corporation — 2 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- UNEX Technology is registered to MAC prefix
00:01:A7and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:01:A7, that block was registered by UNEX Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Substantive vendor beyond a bare IEEE registration: 2 separate MA-L assignments, a live official site with a current Taiwan address, two named legacy Wi-Fi hardware families with documented Linux driver compatibility, and a current V2X product line with a named industry partnership (STMicroelectronics).
About this vendor.
Unex Technology Corporation is a Taiwanese wireless-hardware manufacturer holding two IEEE MA-L blocks (00:01:A7 and 00:10:A7), both registered to "UNEX TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION" at the same Hsinchu address. Unlike a bare single-OUI shell registration, this vendor shows real corroborating substance across two hardware generations. In the 802.11a/b/g/n era, Unex shipped mini-PCI and mini-PCIe Wi-Fi modules — the DCMA-86 series, CM9/CM10 series, DRMA-81, and the AR9462-based DHXA-222 Wi-Fi+Bluetooth half mini-PCIe card — documented as Atheros-chipset devices compatible with the madwifi/ath9k Linux drivers. More recently, Unex has pivoted to connected-vehicle (V2X) hardware, marketing the SOM-352 V2X module and V2Xcast mesh-connectivity platform for on-board-unit/roadside-unit automotive and industrial applications, and announced a 2019 collaboration with STMicroelectronics on V2X and secure-telematics silicon integration. The company's official site (unex.com.tw) is live and lists a current Hsinchu, Taiwan address, distinct from the older registry address on file with IEEE. No CVE/NVD security-advisory entries specifically naming Unex were found, which is recorded as an absence of findings rather than an affirmative "no vulnerabilities" claim.
