Overview

Per the FCC docs...

  • The antenna manufacturer is noted as huaDeChang (Shenzhen Hua De Chang Technology Co.,Ltd).
  • The shown sample OUI in the FCC manual is 64:E5:99 (EFM Networks [ipTIME], principally / solely sells Zioncom stuff)
  • The sole shot of the device shows it with a Zioncom typical design

Per BearExtender's drivers, this device is using RTL8812AU. There is no vendor specific USB ID in the driver - it may be using a default 8812 USB ID (0bda:8812 [standard], 0bda:881a [RTL8812AU-VS], 0bda:881b [RTL8812AU-VL], 0bda:881c [RTL8812AU-VN]).

This device is probably the same OEM model as the ipTIME A2000UA.

Antenna connectors used are presumed to be RP-SMA. The form factor of the device indicates a (USB 3) Micro-B cable is used.
