Wireless Technology, Inc. — MAC prefix identification
Summary
- // what this is
- Wireless Technology is registered to MAC prefix
CC:FC:B1and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins withCC:FC:B1, that block was registered by Wireless Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Both assigned prefixes are 24 bits with 24 suffix bits; their first-byte Group and Local bits are zero. Each prefix has 16,777,216 possible suffix values. These are assignment properties, not evidence of deployed devices or shipment counts.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with CC:FC:B1 or 00:01:79 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to Wireless Technology, Inc.; the supplied records do not identify a device type or product for either prefix.
Each assignment is 24 bits long, leaving 24 bits for suffix values. A match establishes that the address begins with one of these registered prefixes. It does not establish which device used it, whether it was deployed, or how common it is.
For both prefixes, the first octet has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0. These bits are fixed for an exact prefix match: changing either produces a different prefix. Each assignment permits 16,777,216 possible suffix values, a mathematical range rather than a count of devices or shipments. RFC 7042 describes the structure of 48-bit MAC identifiers and the significance of these bits.
The IEEE CSV records provide no assignment dates. The two registry entries have different address-country indications, so the profile does not attribute a single country to the company.
