Gen2wave
MAC address prefix 28:38:CF is registered to Gen2wave in the IEEE OUI registry. Any device whose MAC address begins with 28:38:CF has a network interface built by Gen2wave. This prefix (the OUI, or Organizationally Unique Identifier) is assigned by the IEEE and is the first three octets of the address — it covers every MAC from 28:38:CF:00:00:00 to 28:38:CF:FF:FF:FF.

FAQ
- Which company owns MAC address prefix 28:38:CF?
- MAC address prefix 28:38:CF is registered to Gen2wave in the IEEE Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) registry. Any device whose MAC address begins with 28:38:CF has a network interface built by Gen2wave.
- What is the OUI 28:38:CF?
- 28:38:CF is an Organizationally Unique Identifier — the first three octets (24 bits) of a MAC address, assigned by the IEEE to Gen2wave. It covers every address from 28:38:CF:00:00:00 to 28:38:CF:FF:FF:FF, or 16,777,216 addresses in total. It is also written 28-38-CF.
- How do I find the manufacturer of a MAC address?
- Take the first three octets of the address — in 28:38:CF:00:00:00 that is 28:38:CF — and look that prefix up in the IEEE OUI registry. If the second-lowest bit of the first octet is set, the address is locally administered (a randomized or private MAC), which belongs to no manufacturer and will not resolve; modern phones and laptops use these by default on each network.
- Where is Gen2wave located?
- Gen2wave is listed at Gumi-dong, Bundang-gu Seongnam-si Gyeonggi-do KR 463-741 in the IEEE OUI registry entry for 28:38:CF. This is the address the organization registered with the IEEE, which may differ from its current operating address.
