Ruijie in Jordan — switches, Wi-Fi and gateways for enterprise networks
Wireless and switching specified for a much lighter kind of network eventually run out at the access layer, whether in a hotel, on a campus or across an industrial site. EIE designs, supplies and supports Ruijie switches, Wi-Fi and gateways for customers in Jordan, from Amman and Irbid to the Dead Sea and Aqaba.
Why Ruijie fits Jordan now
The pressure on a network of that age is not glamorous. Consider a hotel on the Dead Sea that sold Wi-Fi as an amenity when guests carried one device each and now has families streaming in every room; a university in Irbid whose coverage was built for laptops and now carries every student’s phone as well, plus cameras and building services; a logistics site in Aqaba needing coverage across yards and storage halls where a handheld scanner is the only terminal. In each of those examples the access layer, not the internet link, runs out first.
Ruijie enters the conversation where a budget has to cover a whole floor plate rather than half: enterprise-grade switching and wireless, with the Reyee line for smaller sites where a full controller architecture would be over-specified. Building fabric pushes the same way, which is why access point placement is a survey question rather than a datasheet one: thick stone walls, low-rise blocks spread horizontally rather than stacked, a hotel built into a slope, or the heat and salt air of a coastal site each change the answer.
What EIE supplies and supports for Ruijie in Jordan
- Switching — access, aggregation and core switches, including PoE for access points, cameras, door controllers and IP telephones, with uplinks sized for the building rather than the datasheet.
- Wi-Fi — indoor and outdoor access points across the Reyee and enterprise lines, wall-plate units for guest rooms, controller and cloud-managed architectures, and roaming across a long corridor.
- Routers and gateways — the internet edge, multi-link handling where a site keeps more than one provider, and segmentation between guest, corporate and payment traffic.
- Design and survey — coverage and capacity design from floor plans, with a predictive model checked in the building before installation.
- Remote configuration — switching, VLAN, routing, wireless and controller configuration built and tested from Jeddah, so equipment arrives carrying the customer’s design.
- Installation support and handover — mounting, patching and commissioning alongside the customer’s cabling contractor, then testing and documentation the IT team can work from.
| Example site | Typical shape | What decides the design |
|---|---|---|
| Dead Sea or Aqaba resort | Wall-plate access points, outdoor coverage, PoE per block | Low-rise layout, guest density, heat |
| University campus in Irbid | Core and aggregation switching, high-density Wi-Fi in halls | Concurrency between lectures, academic calendar |
| Hospital in Amman | Segmented switching, controlled roaming, resilient uplinks | Traffic separation, continuity during works |
| Aqaba logistics site | Outdoor and storage-hall coverage, ruggedised placement | Distance, dust and salt air |
How delivery works for customers in Jordan
EIE has service coverage in Jordan and no local base. A network refresh divides neatly along that line: design and configuration happen from Jeddah, and the parts that need hands happen in the building.
Design and configuration from Jeddah. Coverage and capacity design, addressing and VLAN structure, switching and routing configuration and wireless profiles are built remotely by the Saudi engineering team, then staged so equipment ships pre-configured.
Supply and shipment. Switches, access points and gateways can be shipped from Saudi Arabia by road through the Saudi–Jordanian land border, by air into Amman where the schedule is tight, or by sea into Aqaba. Import formalities are handled by the customer’s freight forwarder and customs broker. Equipment supply is confirmed at quotation and is subject to the vendor’s export and re-export rules for the destination, restricted-party and end-use screening, customs documentation, and carrier and route availability at the time of shipment.
Survey and installation on site. EIE engineers travel to Jordan for the survey, the validation walk, installation support and commissioning, working with the customer’s cabling contractor.
After handover. Configuration changes, fault investigation, firmware currency and replacement hardware continue under each customer’s service agreement, which sets out coverage, escalation and site attendance.
Example Ruijie projects in Jordan
A resort refresh is a typical scenario: guest-room coverage from wall-plate units rather than corridor access points, because stone walls defeat the corridor approach; outdoor coverage across pools and garden paths; a separate segment for the property management and payment systems; and phased delivery block by block so occupancy is never interrupted.
A campus would be a capacity problem before a coverage problem: lecture halls empty and fill in minutes, so the answer is access point density, channel plan and uplink sizing rather than signal strength. A bank in Amman would be segmentation and resilience across the headquarters building and its outlying sites, and an industrial site in Aqaba would put the environment first: outdoor enclosures, dust and salt air, coverage reaching vehicles.
Replacing an ageing enterprise network
Where the work is a replacement rather than a new build, the survey usually finds a network that grew by addition: switches from several generations, access points bought in batches, a VLAN structure documenting a company that has since reorganised, uplinks adequate before the cameras.
The work starts by mapping what is there and what depends on it, including the quiet things — door controllers, lifts, building management and payment terminals that notice a VLAN change even if nobody mentioned them. Replacement then runs floor by floor, old and new coexisting through a transition, which is the only way to refresh a hotel taking guests.

Frequently asked questions
Can Ruijie switches and access points work alongside what we already have in Jordan?
Yes, through a transition. Mixed environments are normal on a phased replacement, and the design accounts for how they interoperate — VLANs, trunking, spanning tree behaviour and PoE budgets — as the rollout moves through the building.
Who carries out the site survey if EIE has no base in Jordan?
EIE engineers travel to Jordan for the survey and validation walk. A predictive design is produced first from floor plans in Jeddah, then checked in the building, because stone walls and low-rise layouts rarely behave as drawn.
How do the switches and access points get here, and who handles customs?
Equipment can be shipped from Saudi Arabia by road through the Saudi–Jordanian land border, by air into Amman, or by sea into Aqaba, subject to the conditions above, with import formalities handled by the customer’s freight forwarder and customs broker.
Can we buy in stages rather than all at once?
Yes. A staged purchase is straightforward, and the design covers the whole site so addressing, VLAN structure and uplink sizing stay coherent, then purchase and installation follow the budget cycle.
