MAC address vendor

Wavetel Technology Limited — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
B0:BB:8B
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Wavetel Technology is registered to MAC prefix B0:BB:8B and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with B0:BB:8B, that block was registered by Wavetel Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Substantive registrant: identifiable company with a real HQ address corroborated between the IEEE registry and the vendor site, a stated 2007 founding year, a described telecom-hardware product catalog, and two independent OUI assignments — not a bare single-OUI unverifiable shell.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium

Wavetel Technology Limited is a Hong Kong-registered networking-equipment vendor holding two IEEE MA-L (24-bit) OUI assignments, B0:BB:8B and D4:DD:0B, both registered to the identical organization name but listed under two different Hong Kong office addresses — Mongkok/Kowloon and North Point — with inconsistent IEEE country codes (CN vs HK) for what is clearly the same Hong Kong location, a known registry data-quality quirk rather than evidence of separate legal entities. Independent corroboration comes from the company's own site, wavetelco.com, whose stated headquarters address on its about page matches the North Point registration, and which describes a company founded in 2007 with R&D operations in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Shanghai, building PON OLT/ONU, SFP routers, cellular routers, data-center switches, enterprise routers, and xDSL routers for telecom operators, ISPs, MVNOs, and enterprise customers. A separate but similarly-named brand, waveteliot.com ("Wavetel IoT"), sells industrial and cellular IoT routers under the Wavetel name, but no source checked confirms whether it is a sister brand, a rebrand, or an unrelated distributor trading on the same name. No CVEs or vulnerability disclosures were found for Wavetel-branded hardware in a targeted search. Neither IEEE assignment carries a published registration date; any "date registered" shown by third-party MAC lookup tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact, and is not recorded here.

IEEE assignments
2 prefixes → WAVETEL TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, both MA-L [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (lines 25392, 38532); cross-checked https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.csv
Registry / block size
MA-L (24-bit OUI), 2 blocks; no MA-M or MA-S/OUI-36 assignment found for this org [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry (direct grep, zero MA-M/OUI-36 matches)
HQ / addresses
two Hong Kong addresses on file — Room 1611B, 16/F, Ho King Commercial Centre, 2-16 Fayuen Street, Mongkok, Kowloon (B0:BB:8B, IEEE row coded country CN); Flat 1503, 15/F, Carnival Commercial Building, 18 Java Road, North Point (D4:DD:0B, IEEE row coded country HK). Treated as one Hong Kong location; the CN/HK split is an IEEE data-entry inconsistency, not two entities.
