Active

Summary

// what this is
Wistron InfoComm is registered to MAC prefix 84:BA:59 and 2 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 84:BA:59, 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
A Wistron Chongqing OUI is a manufacturing-origin signal (most devices ship as HP/Acer products), not a vendor-of-record for support or firmware. No CVEs or advisories specific to this entity found.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High

Wistron InfoComm (Chongqing) Co., Ltd. is a mainland-China ODM manufacturing subsidiary in the Wistron Corporation group — the Taiwan-listed Fortune Global 500 original-design manufacturer that builds notebooks, desktops, servers, and other hardware under contract for global brands. The Chongqing entity operates from Yubei District in Chongqing and holds three IEEE MA-L (24-bit OUI) blocks: 84:BA:59, 80:CA:52, and 48:98:AB. Trade and supplier records identify its confirmed primary output as notebook computers, with HP Inc. the dominant customer by export-shipment volume and Acer a secondary customer — meaning end devices carrying these prefixes typically ship under HP or Acer branding, not a Wistron-branded product. That contract-manufacturer relationship is the key interpretation caveat for this OUI: a Wistron Chongqing prefix identifies who built the board, not whose name is on the box, so the device's security posture and firmware lineage track the selling brand (HP, Acer) rather than a distinct Wistron threat surface. No CVEs, firmware advisories, or supply-chain-compromise incidents specific to this facility were found. A second data-quality caveat: a separate IEEE registrant named "Wistron (ChongQing)" holds OUI 30:65:EC at a different Chongqing address (Konggang Functional Zone) — do not merge it into this vendor without confirming the two are the same legal entity. As with every OUI, IEEE publishes no registration dates; aggregator "date registered" values are database artifacts.

Security note
no CVEs, firmware vulnerabilities, or security advisories specific to Wistron InfoComm Chongqing found; devices are contract-manufactured consumer/commercial endpoints (laptops under HP/Acer branding), not network infrastructure — inherited security posture is the selling brand's, not a distinct "Wistron network device" surface

Analyst note
a Wistron Chongqing OUI identifies the contract manufacturer of the hardware, not the retail brand — most such devices ship as HP or Acer products. Treat the OUI as a manufacturing-origin signal, not a vendor-of-record for support or firmware.
