Wi-Fi Alliance — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Wi-Fi Alliance holds two IEEE MA-L (24-bit OUI) blocks registered under the exact organization name "Wi-Fi Alliance": 50:6F:9A and D4:5C:70. Both registry addresses sit in Austin, Texas — 3925 W. Braker Lane for the first block and 10900-B Stonelake Boulevard for the second — consistent with one organization holding two allocations that were registered at different times as its office address changed within the same city. Wi-Fi Alliance is the nonprofit industry consortium behind the "Wi-Fi CERTIFIED" interoperability program; per its official site it develops Wi-Fi technology requirements and certification programs and drives global Wi-Fi adoption, and it reports having certified tens of thousands of products. Holding two separate MA-L blocks is itself a substance signal that distinguishes this record from a bare single-OUI shell. What the registration does NOT tell us is the specific hardware these prefixes appear on. No official Wi-Fi Alliance document was located tying either OUI to a named product line, reference device, or certification test-bed; a plausible use given the org's role running interoperability labs is test or reference equipment, but that is inference, not a sourced fact, so device usage is recorded here as an honest Unknown rather than fabricated. Note the IEEE caveat that governs all OUI work: IEEE publishes no assignment or registration date for MA-L blocks, so third-party "registered on" dates seen on MAC-lookup aggregators are database artifacts, not authoritative facts, and are not recorded here.

IEEE assignment

2 prefixes → "Wi-Fi Alliance", registered Austin, TX, US [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

Registry / block size

both MA-L (24-bit OUI); prefixes 50:6F:9A and D4:5C:70 [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L. No "Wi-Fi Alliance" match in MA-M (the IEEE MA-M registry) or MA-S (the IEEE MA-S registry); both checked, zero rows.

Prefix 1

50:6F:9A → "Wi-Fi Alliance", 3925 W. Braker Lane, Austin, TX 78759, US [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

Prefix 2

D4:5C:70 → "Wi-Fi Alliance", 10900-B Stonelake Boulevard, Austin, TX 78759, US [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

HQ / country

Austin, TX, US (two registry addresses, same city) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

Company status

active [Confirmed] — wi-fi.org (official site describes current mission/programs)

Organization type

nonprofit industry consortium; runs the "Wi-Fi CERTIFIED" interoperability certification program; develops Wi-Fi technology requirements [Confirmed] — https://www.wi-fi.org/who-we-are

Device types

Unknown — no official source ties either OUI to a named product, reference device, or certification test-bed; plausible test/reference-lab use is inference, not recorded as fact [Unknown] — web search this pass returned only IEEE-mirroring aggregators (maclookup.app, hwaddress.com, dnschecker.org) with no added device context

No IEEE date

IEEE public OUI data (Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address) contains no assignment/registration date; third-party "registered 11 April 2010 / updated 17 November 2015" figures on maclookup.app are database artifacts, NOT IEEE facts, and are not recorded here

[Confirmed] — IEEE the IEEE MA-L registry schema; caveat re https://maclookup.app/macaddress/506f9a

IANA Reference

blank (no IANA/RFC reference applies to a vendor OUI record) [Confirmed]

Analyst note

a 50:6F:9A or D4:5C:70 globally-administered address identifies hardware bearing a Wi-Fi Alliance OUI, but the specific device class is undocumented; do not infer a product line from the OUI alone.
