Summary

// what this is
Yealink is registered to MAC prefix 00:15:65 and 10 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:15:65, that block was registered by Yealink — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
One of the most common VoIP desk-phone brands alongside Polycom and Cisco; a Yealink OUI almost always identifies a SIP phone in the voice VLAN.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High

Yealink holds 10 MA-L blocks under the newer registrant "YEALINK(XIAMEN) NETWORK TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD." — 24:9A:D8, 34:97:D7, 44:DB:D2, 64:4F:56, 80:5E:0C, 80:5E:C0, B0:61:A9, C4:FC:22, EC:1D:A9 and F0:16:53 — plus 1 legacy block (00:15:65) under the older "XIAMEN YEALINK NETWORK TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD" — both map to the same vendor and should be normalized. The company is based in Huli District, Xiamen, Fujian, China. These OUIs appear on IP desk phones (the T-series), conference phones, video endpoints, DECT phones, and headsets. Yealink is one of the most common VoIP desk-phone brands in SMB and enterprise environments, alongside Polycom/Poly and Cisco. For triage, a Yealink OUI almost always identifies a SIP phone in the voice VLAN.

Two registrant strings (old "Xiamen Yealink…" vs new "Yealink(Xiamen)…") both map to the same vendor; note that 00:15:65 belongs to the OLD string, not the new one. [Confirmed] — IEEE the IEEE MA-L registry
Security context
a July 2021 third-party report (Chain Security) alleged insecure defaults and unexpected China-hosted data transmission on the T54W phone and the YDMP management platform; Yealink rebutted it (publicly traded, no government ownership, on-premises YDMP, GDPR-certified US/EU-hosted cloud, cited firmware issues patched). Recorded as a sourced, attributed dispute — no specific CVE was named, and the residual concern is policy-level rather than a published vulnerability. [Confirmed that the dispute occurred; claims on both sides as-stated] — teledynamics.com, forescout.com, yealink.com/en/trust-center/security
