Wu Qi Technologies, Inc. — 8 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Wu Qi Technologies is registered to MAC prefix
2C:64:F6and 7 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with2C:64:F6, that block was registered by Wu Qi Technologies — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Substantive multi-OUI vendor (8 MA-L blocks + live corporate site matching the registry address) — this is a chip/module supplier, so the OUI identifies embedded network hardware on smart-home/IoT devices, not a WUQI-branded consumer product line. Security posture unverified (no adverse findings, not a clean audit).
About this vendor.
Wu Qi Technologies, Inc. holds eight IEEE MA-L (24-bit) OUI blocks — 2C:64:F6, 30:6D:34, 40:87:E5, 48:55:5C, 6C:11:B3, D4:13:B3, D8:4D:B9, and D8:A6:F0 — all registered to the same Chongqing, China address in Yubei District's Xiantao Big Data Valley. Seven of the eight rows carry an identical registered-address string; the eighth (48:55:5C) uses differently worded phrasing for what appears to be the same locality, read here as a formatting variant rather than a distinct registrant. The registrant traces to Chongqing Wu Qi Technologies Co., Ltd., a fabless chip designer founded in 2016 whose brand now trades as WUQI Microelectronics (物奇微电子) after a Shanghai entity joined the group in 2020; the legacy wuqi-tech.com domain now 301-redirects to wuqi-micro.com, consistent with a rebrand rather than a different company. WUQI's public product lineup spans Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo SoCs, PLC/HPLC power-line chips, audio host chips, and vision chips, aimed at smart locks, TWS earbuds, AI glasses, cameras, and energy-metering gear — placing this OUI on chip-embedded IoT devices rather than a WUQI-branded consumer product line. No security advisories specific to the vendor turned up in this pass; that is an absence of findings, not a confirmed clean bill of health. No IEEE assignment/registration dates exist for any of the eight blocks, and none are asserted here.
- IEEE assignment

- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit) only — no matches for this org in the IEEE MA-M registry (MA-M) or the IEEE MA-S registry (MA-S) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry
- Registered address
- "14/F, 107 Middle Road, Xiantao Big Data Valley, Yubei District, Chongqing, CN 401120" on 7 of 8 blocks; 48:55:5C carries a differently-worded address variant for the same Xiantao/Yubei District locality [Confirmed registry text; variant interpretation Likely] — the IEEE MA-L registry
