Wistron Infocomm (Zhongshan) Corporation — 9 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Wistron Infocomm is registered to MAC prefix
08:94:EFand 8 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with08:94:EF, that block was registered by Wistron Infocomm — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- This is a contract ODM subsidiary, not a consumer brand — an OUI hit identifies the manufacturing origin of the hardware, not necessarily the brand printed on the shipping product.
About this vendor.
Wistron Infocomm (Zhongshan) Corporation is the Zhongshan, Guangdong manufacturing subsidiary of Wistron Corporation (Taiwan Stock Exchange: 3231), one of the world's largest electronics ODMs. Nine MA-L prefixes appear in the IEEE registry under this org name, though with inconsistent capitalization and at least one typo variant ("InforComm"). Seven of the nine were cross-verified directly against the live IEEE Registration Authority API; the remaining two (20:6A:8A, F0:DE:F1) exist in the cached registry snapshot but carry a Kunshan address rather than Zhongshan and were not returned by the live query — an anomaly worth flagging rather than silently merging. Wistron's own 2025 investor filing confirms the Zhongshan entity was established 1997-10-28 with USD 234,000,000 in paid-in capital. As a contract ODM, the plant builds mainboards, graphics cards, desktops, servers, set-top boxes, optical drives, and does assembly/box-build work for game-console-related products for other companies' brands — so an OUI hit here identifies the manufacturing origin, not necessarily the shipping brand on the box. This is a genuinely separate legal entity from the similarly-named "Wistron InfoComn (Kunshan) Co., Ltd.", which holds its own distinct OUI registrations and vendor entry.
- Registry / block size
- MA-L only — 9 matching prefixes found in the cached IEEE registry; no MA-M or MA-S entries for this org family [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry (local cache)
- Core confirmed prefixes (7 of 9, cross-verified live against IEEE RA API)
- 08:94:EF, F8:0F:41, 38:B7:25, 44:67:52, 98:EE:CB, 70:E2:84, F4:F1:9E — all addressed to Zhongshan Torch Development Zone / Cuiheng New District, Guangdong, China [Confirmed] — https://services13.ieee.org/RST/standards-ra-web/rest/assignments/?registry=MA-L&text=Wistron%20InfoComm(ZhongShan)
- Anomalous prefixes (2 of 9, registry snapshot only)
- 20:6A:8A and F0:DE:F1 carry a Kunshan Export Processing Zone address in the IEEE MA-L registry despite the "Zhongshan" org name, and were not returned by the live IEEE text query — flagged as a possible registry data-quality artifact or a name collision with a related Kunshan entity, not fully confirmed as belonging to this exact legal registrant [Likely] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-L registry; cross-checked (not confirmed) at https://maclookup.app/vendors/wistron-infocomm-zhongshan-corporation
- Org-name variants on file
- "Wistron Infocomm (Zhongshan) Corporation", "Wistron INFOCOMM (Zhongshan) CORPORATION", and a typo variant "Wistron InforComm (Zhongshan) Corporation" — same registrant, inconsistent capitalization/spelling across IEEE filings [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
- Registered address
- No.38, East Keji Road, Zhongshan Torch Development Zone, Zhongshan City, Guangdong, China 528437 (majority of prefixes); also 15 Cuiwei Road, Cuiheng New District, Zhongshan 528400 and Torch High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Zhongshan 528437 on other assignments — all Zhongshan, Guangdong[Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
- Excluded related entity
- "Wistron InfoComn (Kunshan) Co., Ltd." (note distinct spelling "InfoComn") is a separate legal registrant at a different city (Kunshan, Jiangsu, not Zhongshan) with its own MA-L (C4:A1:0E) and MA-M assignments — not part of this entry [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry
- Parent company
- Wistron Corporation (Taiwan Stock Exchange: 3231), a major global ODM; the Zhongshan subsidiary was established 1997-10-28 with paid-in capital of USD 234,000,000 [Confirmed] — https://www.wistron.com/file/925ca240-f77c-4b4e-8526-c2791c072551/2025Q2_WHQG_En.pdf.pdf
- Product / device context
- ODM manufacturer of mainboards, graphics cards, desktop computers, servers, set-top boxes, and optical (DVD/CD-ROM) drives, plus assembly/integration/testing/box-build for game-console-related products for international clients — a contract manufacturer whose end products typically ship under other companies' brands [Likely] — https://www.importinfo.com/wistron-infocomm-zhongshan-corp, https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.wistron_infocomm_(zhongshan)_corporation.c97ff4a7641cde5803a3867a7cbbed15.html
- Company status
- active, corroborated by Bloomberg (WISTRZ:CH), D&B business directory, and ImportYeti trade-manifest data (~29,111 bills of lading, May 2012–Jul 2026) at the same Zhongshan Torch Development Zone address used in the IEEE filings[Likely] — https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/WISTRZ:CH, https://www.importyeti.com/supplier/wistron-infocomm-zhongshan
- Registration / assignment dates
- Unknown — IEEE's public MA-L data (the IEEE MA-L registry: Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address) publishes no date column for any of these prefixes. Third-party "date registered" values on maclookup.app / alldatafeeds (e.g. 2010-04-11, 2013-06-20, 2014-10-25, 2015-11-17, 2021-03-23) are database artifacts, not IEEE-published facts, and must not be recorded as verified[Confirmed as Unknown] — https://maclookup.app/vendors/wistron-infocomm-zhongshan-corporation
- IANA reference
- not applicable (IEEE MA-L, not an IANA-delegated resource) — left blank
- Security context
- no CVEs, security advisories, or incident reports found specific to hardware manufactured by this entity; as a contract ODM building for other brands, device-level security posture is not attributable to this OUI owner the way it would be for a branded vendor with its own firmware[Unknown] — no source found
- Company substance verdict
- substantive — identifiable, real Wistron Corporation subsidiary (incorporated 1997, USD 234M capital) with concrete product/device context (mainboards, GPUs, desktops, servers, STBs, optical drives, game-console assembly) and 7 directly IEEE-confirmed OUI assignments — clears the abstain-on-shells bar for a bare single-OUI registration [Confirmed] — https://services13.ieee.org/RST/standards-ra-web/rest/assignments/?registry=MA-L&text=Wistron%20InfoComm(ZhongShan), https://www.wistron.com/file/925ca240-f77c-4b4e-8526-c2791c072551/2025Q2_WHQG_En.pdf.pdf
