Z-COM, Inc. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Z-COM, Inc. is a Taiwanese wireless networking manufacturer headquartered in Hsinchu, founded in 1995 and listed on Taiwan's OTC exchange since 2013, with roughly 700 employees. The registry holds two separate MA-L OUI blocks under the org name — recorded as "Z-Com, Inc." (00:19:70) and "Z-COM, INC." (00:60:B3) — both at the same street address, differing only in that one record carries a trailing postal code and the other does not; these are treated as one vendor rather than a case-sensitivity or typo artifact. Two other Z-COM-adjacent registry entries were deliberately excluded from this entry: 30:49:3B ("Nanjing Z-Com Wireless Co.,Ltd") and 34:ED:0B ("Shanghai XZ-COM.CO.,Ltd."), both distinct legal entities that belong under their own vendor slugs, not folded into this one. Independent corroboration beyond the bare IEEE registration comes from Z-COM's own product site, multiple FCC grantee-code filings under M4Y for wireless access points, bridges, and OEM embedded modules, and active company social profiles — establishing this as a substantive, identifiable manufacturer rather than a shell registration. No security-advisory history specific to Z-COM branded hardware was found in this pass, which is recorded as an honest abstention rather than a clean-record claim.

Excluded lookalikes (NOT this vendor, separate slugs)

MA-M / MA-S check

no MA-M or MA-S registrations found for Z-Com/Z-COM [Confirmed absence] — the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry

Registration dates

not published by IEEE for either prefix — left null, not fabricated; any third-party "date registered" would be a database-scrape artifact, not an IEEE fact [Confirmed absence] — the IEEE MA-L registry (no date column)

IANA reference

not applicable / blank — no IANA-reference field exists for OUI/MA-L entries [Confirmed]

Security context

Unknown — no CVE or public advisory specifically attributable to Z-COM Inc. (Taiwan) branded products found in this single-pass search; not an exhaustive per-model lookup, treated as honest abstention rather than a clean-record claim [Unknown]

Related vendors

none merged in; Nanjing Z-Com Wireless and Shanghai XZ-COM are distinct companies with their own OUI blocks and would need separate entries [Confirmed]

Analyst note

multi-OUI vendor with verifiable company substance (active website, FCC filings, social presence) beyond the bare IEEE registration — does not meet the shell-abstention bar.
