Ruijie October Brief: Cybrey Expands Across APAC as Integrated Switching and Warehouse Wi-Fi Evolve

By: Network-Switch.com | October 22, 2026

Quick Summary

Between October 1 and 19, 2026, Ruijie's main networking updates included the Cybrey roadshow across seven Asia-Pacific markets and the October 16 introduction of One Machine One Network 3.0. At that event, Ruijie introduced modular interface and wireless-control cards along with the RG-AP950-AR-RU Wi-Fi 7 radio unit for warehouse environments. Other updates covered outdoor Wi-Fi 7 product documentation, the discontinuation of selected integrated PoE gateways, and a company statement about its share of China's Ethernet optical-network market. Several items came from the same launch event. The documentation update and market-share statement were not new hardware launches.

Cybrey Extends Its SME Networking Roadshow to Seven APAC Markets

On October 19, Ruijie announced details of a Cybrey solution roadshow held October 9 to 16 across Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong Kong SAR. Cybrey is the company's AI-oriented networking brand for SMEs and project-based networks; it was introduced earlier in 2026, so this is a regional rollout rather than a brand debut.

The company highlighted Wi-Fi 7 APs, core switches, firewalls and cloud-based management for system integrators and managed service providers. The release also referenced projects in a 19-floor hotel in Vietnam, warehouse operations in Malaysia and K-12 networking in Thailand. These are vendor-provided examples, not independently measured performance benchmarks.

Regional integrators will need to assess whether the same management and security workflow can support switching, wireless and multiple customer sites without adding unnecessary complexity to smaller projects.

One Machine One Network 3.0 Adds Modular Switching and Wireless Control

On October 16, Ruijie held its One Machine One Network 3.0 autumn launch event for growing organizations. Two announced hardware components were the M7500L-SIP-L-XA modular interface card and the M7000L-MGM multifunction card.

The M7500L-SIP-L-XA design allows copper, optical and service interfaces to be selected as required rather than fixing every port type in advance. Ruijie says the architecture spans compatible 2U-to-10U systems. The M7000L-MGM adds wireless-controller functions to the integrated platform, including a dual-card virtual-AC option described in the event materials.

The same launch presented a unified optical-network approach integrating switching, OLT, wireless control and management in one main system. Ruijie described passive distribution ratios of 1:8, 1:16 and 1:32, with up to 256 optical access points in the stated configuration. These figures are vendor design claims and should be checked against actual chassis, module and power limits before specifying equipment.

RG-AP950-AR-RU Targets Warehouse Wi-Fi and Mobile Equipment

The third product introduced at the October 16 launch was the RG-AP950-AR-RU, an AI Radio wireless remote unit intended for warehouse aisles and mobile equipment. Ruijie's October 15 hardware documentation identifies it as a tri-radio Wi-Fi 7 device with a stated aggregate access rate of 6.453 Gbps.

The launch materials describe a narrow directional antenna pattern intended to serve shelving aisles up to approximately 15 meters in the stated scenario, alongside radio behavior designed around AGV location awareness and mobile handheld devices.

The announcement does not establish zero-delay roaming. Warehouse operators should still test client compatibility, roaming interruptions, aisle layouts, metal reflections and application packet-loss tolerance under normal production traffic.

Outdoor Wi-Fi 7: New RG-AP690-A(V2) Documentation

On October 8, Ruijie posted a product brief for the RG-AP690-A(V2) series. It describes dual-radio outdoor Wi-Fi 7 access points aimed at education, public-sector, finance and commercial outdoor environments.

The product brief provides useful specifications for comparing outdoor APs, but its October 8 publication date does not establish when the series first launched. Procurement teams should treat it as a documentation update rather than a confirmed product launch.

Buyers comparing outdoor Wi-Fi 7 models should verify band support, environmental ratings, antenna pattern, mounting arrangements, PoE requirements and wired backhaul against the specific revision they intend to purchase.

Selected Integrated PoE Gateways and SD-WAN Controller Reach End-of-Sale

On October 10, Ruijie published an end-of-sale notice covering the RG-EG5200-P integrated PoE security gateway, RG-EG2100-P V2 and the RG-ONC-WAN SD-WAN controller software, plus specified RG-EG5200-P accessories. Orders ceased on October 10, 2026, and the notice lists October 10, 2031 as the final service date.

The notice does not identify direct hardware replacements for the two PoE gateways. It describes migration of the controller function toward an EDN-platform routing SD-WAN approach, which the notice marked as not yet released.

Although this notice covers gateways and controller software rather than conventional switches or APs, it affects branch networks that use one appliance for routing, security, PoE endpoints and management. Replacement options should be checked for port count, PoE output, security features and service continuity.

Ruijie Publishes a New Ethernet Optical-Network Market Claim

Ruijie published an October 16 company update stating that it had held the leading share of China's Ethernet optical-network segment for six consecutive quarters. This article has not independently verified the market-share claim or reproduced the underlying market research.

The claim concerns a specific optical-network category in China, not the worldwide Ethernet-switch market. It does not establish a global ranking or a new switch-performance benchmark.

Network-Switch.com Observation

Ruijie's October announcements focused on enterprise access rather than new 800G data-center hardware. The updates emphasized modular core interfaces and wireless control on a shared platform, radio units designed for warehouse mobility, and cloud-managed networking for SMEs across Asia-Pacific.

Before choosing an integrated platform, project teams should compare it with a conventional design, including shared failure points, expansion options, optical reach, UPS capacity, wireless-controller limits, firmware support and recovery procedures. Hardware consolidation may reduce management overhead, but it can also place more services on the same chassis or power supply.
