Ruijie in Syria — switches, Wi-Fi and gateways for enterprise networks
Ruijie is a practical answer where an organisation needs switching and Wi-Fi it can buy, install and keep supported. EIE designs, supplies and supports Ruijie campus, hotel and office networks for customers in Syria from its engineering base in Jeddah.
Why Ruijie matters in Syria now
A network refresh starts with a building rather than with technology fashion. Consider a hotel reopening floors in Latakia, a bank restoring branches in Homs and Hama, a university adding lecture blocks in Damascus, or a ministry consolidating offices in Aleppo: each reaches the same point, where the cabling might survive but the switching and wireless underneath do not. Access points bought a decade ago were not sized for the device count people now carry, and unmanaged switches turn every fault into a site visit.
Ruijie fits that situation for reasons that matter to procurement as much as to engineering. The range covers an unmanaged branch closet through to a campus core without changing vendor, the Reyee line covers smaller sites, and cloud management means a network in Tartus can be configured and inspected without an engineer standing next to it. Because EIE delivers on-site phases with travelling engineers, we treat remote manageability as a design requirement rather than a convenience.
What EIE supplies and supports for Ruijie in Syria
We design the network, supply the equipment and configure it, then support it once it is live.
- Access and aggregation switches — RG-S2910-class access switching and RG-S5300-class aggregation, with PoE budgeted for the access points, cameras and phones actually being connected.
- Reyee switching — RG-NBS-series managed switches and RG-ES units for branches, clinics, small hotels and offices that need managed switching at a smaller scale.
- Enterprise Wi-Fi — RG-AP-series indoor and outdoor access points for campus and high-density areas, including ballrooms, lecture theatres and lobbies.
- Reyee Wi-Fi — RG-RAP-series access points, including wall-plate units suited to hotel guest rooms where in-room coverage beats corridor mounting.
- Routers and gateways — RG-EG-series gateways for branch internet, policy and multi-WAN, and the segmentation that keeps guest, staff, payment and building systems apart.
- Design, configuration and support — coverage planning, VLAN and segmentation design, remote configuration through Ruijie Cloud, installation support and ongoing fault handling.
| Environment | Shape of the design | What decides the design |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel | Reyee or enterprise APs in rooms, PoE access switching per floor | In-room coverage, ballroom density, guest and staff separation |
| Bank branch network | Managed access switch, gateway, controlled wireless | Segmentation, remote management, consistent branch build |
| Campus | Aggregation core, per-building access, outdoor APs | Building count, uplink capacity, lecture-hall density |
How delivery works for Syrian customers
EIE is headquartered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and delivers into Syria without a local base. Networking suits that model particularly well.
Design and remote configuration from Saudi Arabia. Coverage planning, switch and VLAN design, addressing and policy are done by our Saudi engineering team. Equipment can be configured before it ships or brought up remotely through Ruijie Cloud once it is powered and reachable.
Supply and shipment. We quote and source switches, access points and gateways, which can normally be shipped to Syria with logistics coordinated with the customer’s freight forwarder and import broker so the consignment follows the customer’s own import route. 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.
Engineers on site for installation phases. Mounting, patching, survey validation and commissioning need people in the building. EIE engineers travel to Syria for those phases, or work alongside the customer’s own installers where that is faster. A Damascus presence is planned; until it exists, on-site work is delivered by travelling engineers.
Ongoing support. Fault handling, configuration changes, firmware currency and replacement hardware continue under an agreed arrangement, with coverage, escalation and on-site attendance governed by each customer’s service agreement.
Example Ruijie projects in Syria
Consider a hotel that needs wireless working at the desk, in the bathroom and on the balcony, plus separate networks for guests, staff devices, payment terminals and building systems. In-room access points cost more than corridor mounting and behave properly, which is the conversation worth having before the order.
A bank would want every branch built the same way, managed centrally, and segmented so a guest device cannot reach anything that matters. A government department would want controlled access and clean addressing across buildings. A university campus would need density in lecture halls, coverage across open ground, and uplinks that do not collapse when a session starts.
Replacing an ageing network
Where Ruijie replaces an existing network rather than equipping a new build, the first job is to establish what is there. A network that has grown by addition can hold unmanaged switches under desks, access points left on whatever channel they defaulted to, one flat address range carrying guests, staff and cameras together, and no record of what is plugged in where.
We start by establishing that record, because a design built on assumptions fails at commissioning. From there the work is ordinary and effective: a segmentation plan that separates guest, staff, payment and building traffic; PoE budgeted against the real device list; a wireless design based on the building rather than on an access point count; and a staged replacement so floors or branches move without the whole site going dark.
Where the network carries voice, the platform side is covered on Mitel in Syria, Avaya in Syria and Nortel in Syria. For how voice and network fit together, see unified communications.

Frequently asked questions
Can EIE supply Ruijie switches and access points to Syria?
Yes. We quote and source Ruijie switching, Wi-Fi and gateway equipment, which can normally be shipped to Syria with logistics coordinated with the customer’s freight forwarder and import broker, subject to the supply conditions set out above. Configuration is normally done before shipment or remotely once the equipment is reachable.
What is the difference between Reyee and the enterprise Ruijie lines?
Reyee is aimed at smaller sites while keeping central management; the enterprise lines add capacity, resilience and the features a campus or high-density venue needs. A project can mix them, with Reyee in branches and enterprise equipment at the core.
Can the network be configured without an engineer travelling?
Much of it can. Ruijie Cloud allows remote configuration and inspection once devices are powered and reachable, so travel is reserved for mounting, patching, survey validation and commissioning.
Do you work with our own installers?
Yes. Where the customer’s contractor handles the cabling and physical installation, EIE does the design, configuration and commissioning, which reduces travel and keeps the schedule under the customer’s control.
