MAC address vendor

Wistron InfoComm (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. — 5 MA-L + 1 likely-linked MA-M block

Primary prefix
48:2A:E3
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Wistron InfoComm is registered to MAC prefix 48:2A:E3 and 5 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 48:2A:E3, 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
Substantive multi-OUI manufacturing subsidiary of Wistron Corporation (5 MA-L + 1 likely-linked MA-M block; independently profiled by Bloomberg, D&B, PitchBook, PatSnap, LinkedIn: founded 2001, ~5,001 employees, notebook/desktop/server/storage manufacturing). No independent source ties a specific device model to any of the 5 individual prefixes — device type is inferred from parent business line, not per-prefix evidenced.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium

A MAC address beginning with 48:2A:E3, 54:EE:75, 94:DF:4E, F4:A8:0D, or 3C:97:0E belongs to Wistron InfoComm(Kunshan)Co.,Ltd., a Kunshan, Jiangsu (China) computer-manufacturing subsidiary of Taiwan's Wistron Corporation. All five blocks are IEEE MA-L (24-bit) registrations under the exact same registrant name and Kunshan Integrated Free Trade Zone address.

A sixth block, MA-M 28-bit range C4:A1:0E:20/28, is registered to "Wistron InfoComn (Kunshan) Co., Ltd." — a near-identical name (InfoComn appears to be an IEEE-side typo for InfoComm) at a different Kunshan address. Given the matching city and near-identical company name this is likely the same legal entity operating a second site, but the name/address mismatch keeps this link at Likely rather than Confirmed.

Independent business-data providers (Bloomberg, Dun & Bradstreet, PitchBook, PatSnap, LinkedIn) all carry standalone profiles for this company: founded 2001, headquartered at No. 88 Hongyan Road in Kunshan's Economic & Technological Development Zone, roughly 5,001 employees, and a product line of notebook computers, desktop systems, servers, and storage devices plus equipment-repair services. That corroboration across unrelated sources is why this entry clears the bar as a real, identifiable manufacturing subsidiary rather than a bare single-OUI shell.

No independent source ties any specific device model to these five individual prefixes — every MAC-lookup hit for them is an aggregator mirroring the IEEE registry string, not an original device-type source. Device type here is inferred from the parent's general ODM manufacturing line, not evidenced per prefix. This entity is also distinct from three other Wistron-family registrants already in the repo: parent Wistron Corporation and Wistron NeWeb Corporation (the separate wireless/networking arm), Wistron Infocomm (Zhongshan) Corporation (a separate legal entity), and "Wistron Service(Kunshan) Co., Ltd." (a separate services-only subsidiary) — none of these should be merged into this slug.

One third-party MAC-lookup aggregator states a "registered on 08 April 2012" date for this block. IEEE's own the IEEE MA-L registry/mam.csv publish no assignment dates at all, so that figure is a database-scrape artifact, not an IEEE fact, and is not recorded here as a registration date.
