Ruijie Networks Co., Ltd., commonly known as Ruijie, is a Chinese networking and information-technology company headquartered in Fuzhou, Fujian. The firm develops and sells network infrastructure, cloud and network-management platforms, security products, wireless networking equipment, and industry-specific ICT solutions.

Ruijie is primarily recognized for its Ethernet switches, enterprise and campus networking systems, Wi-Fi solutions, data-center networking, routers, network security appliances, and cloud-managed networking services. While rooted in the Chinese market, the company has expanded into an international vendor serving customers and partners across more than 140 countries and regions.

The company identifies itself as an ICT infrastructure and solutions provider, operating eight R&D centers and maintaining a presence in over 147 countries and regions.

Ruijie functions primarily as a networking technology company rather than solely a consumer router brand. Its portfolio spans multiple layers of network architecture, allowing it to supply components ranging from internet gateways to core switching infrastructure, along with the software required for configuration and monitoring.

In terms of business model and product scope, Ruijie operates closer to established vendors such as Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Huawei, H3C, Extreme Networks, and Juniper Networks than to consumer-only hardware brands. Historically, the company’s strength lay in campus networking and the education sector within China, but it has increasingly diversified into data centers, enterprise networking, SMB solutions, cloud management, and emerging technologies like Wi-Fi 7 and AI-oriented networking.

Early Years

Ruijie’s involvement in networking began around the late 1990s. While historical materials cite formal establishment in 2000, the current corporate entity was registered in 2003. In its initial phase, the company focused heavily on Ethernet switching. Key early milestones included the development of:

• S1800: An early self-developed Ethernet switch
• S1926G: Gigabit managed switching
• S2800: Modular switching
• RG-S6800: High-end Gigabit switching
• RG-S6800E: IPv6-capable core switching

These products facilitated the transition from basic networking hardware to high-performance enterprise and campus networks 1.

Expansion and Milestones

A strategic shift toward complete network solutions, rather than individual devices, defined much of Ruijie’s growth. Education became a pivotal sector, with the company collaborating with Chinese universities on unified authentication, campus network management, IPv6 adoption, wireless networking, access control, smart-campus infrastructure, and cloud management. Current materials state that the education business covers more than 2,600 higher-education institutions in China, including all top 100 universities, and over 50,000 primary, secondary, and vocational schools.

Key historical developments include:

• 2008: Participation in networking infrastructure for the Beijing Olympic Games.
• 2009: Continued focus on IPv6 and advanced campus networking with research institutions.
• 2010s: Expansion into wireless LAN, cloud computing, data-center networks, and IT operations. The company reported developing 100G-platform data-center switches during this period.
• 2017: Launch of the Ruijie Cloud MACC web platform and mobile app, introducing self-organizing-network technology to simplify deployment 2.
• 2020–2022: Rapid growth in Ruijie Cloud usage, with connected devices rising from approximately 1 million in 2020 to 10 million by 2022.
• 2022: Public listing on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange’s ChiNext board under stock code 301165.

Ruijie offers a broad range of networking equipment categorized as follows:

Ethernet Switches

Switches remain a core category, ranging from cost-effective access switches to high-performance enterprise and data-center models. Applications include office networks, universities, hotels, factories, CCTV systems, retail chains, and government networks. The company emphasizes high-speed data-center switching, specifically 200G and 400G networking.

Wireless Access Points

Both the Ruijie and Reyee brands offer Wi-Fi access points for homes, offices, schools, hotels, restaurants, retail outlets, outdoor environments, and enterprise campuses. The current portfolio includes Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 products. In professional deployments, these access points are typically managed as part of a larger network ecosystem rather than as standalone devices.

Routers and Gateways

Ruijie produces enterprise and SMB routers supporting multi-WAN, load balancing, QoS, VPN, captive portals, NAT, SD-WAN, network authentication, and cloud management. SMB-focused routers are designed for applications such as hotels, restaurants, retail stores, and CCTV deployments.

Firewalls and Security

The company provides network-security products, including firewall solutions designed to protect enterprise networks through traffic control, security policies, and segmentation. These features are integrated with Ruijie’s broader network-management ecosystem.

Data-Center Networking

This segment includes high-capacity switches designed for cloud computing, internet companies, enterprise data centers, AI infrastructure, and high-performance computing environments. Ruijie is currently emphasizing AI-ready network fabrics and 400G-class networking.

Ruijie operates two distinct branding strategies to address different market segments:

• Ruijie: Positioned for enterprise clients, large organizations, universities, government bodies, large campuses, data centers, and complex network deployments.
• Reyee: A sub-brand developed to make networking accessible for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Reyee focuses on simplicity and cloud management for small offices, hotels, restaurants, retail stores, CCTV systems, and home/office Wi-Fi. Its philosophy is summarized as “Redefine your easy network” 3.

Ruijie adopts a scenario-based approach to networking, designing solutions tailored to specific environments rather than selling generic hardware. Examples include:

• Education: Campus networks, smart classrooms, and digital learning infrastructure.
• Hospitality: Hotel Wi-Fi, guest networks, and centralized management.
• Retail: Multi-branch connectivity, POS integration, and remote management.
• Enterprise: Campus LAN/WLAN, security, and management tools.
• Data Centers: High-speed switching and network fabrics.
• CCTV: PoE switches, wireless bridges, and centralized management systems.

Ruijie has transformed from a domestic Chinese manufacturer into an international vendor. It reports having 8 R&D centers, over 7,200 employees, and 3,500+ international partners. More than 50% of its workforce is dedicated to R&D 4.

Southeast Asia and Malaysia

The company maintains a significant presence in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia, where it has operated for many years. Ruijie lists a Kuala Lumpur office in Bangsar South. Its products are utilized in Malaysian sectors such as hospitality (hotels/resorts), education (universities), retail, and SME networks. Regional expansion efforts have included partner conferences involving Malaysia, Indonesia, and Hong Kong. For instance, deployments have been noted in Indonesian retail and food-service businesses, such as the coffee chain Kopi Kenangan.

Ruijie Networks is a publicly listed company on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (ChiNext) under the ticker 301165.

• 2022 Annual Report: Reported revenue of RMB 11.326 billion (23.26% year-on-year growth) and net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 550 million (20.14% growth).
• 2025 Profile: Reports approximately US$2.1 billion in revenue, representing 22.4% year-over-year growth.

Ruijie competes with various global vendors depending on the product segment:

As of 2026, Ruijie’s development strategy extends beyond traditional Ethernet switching to include:

• AI Networking: Infrastructure designed for AI and data-center workloads.
• High-Speed Connectivity: Focus on 400G switching for large-scale data centers.
• Wi-Fi 7: Expansion of Wi-Fi 7 product portfolios across both Ruijie and Reyee brands.
• Cloud Management: Evolution of Ruijie Cloud toward AI-assisted network management.
