Ruijie Gartner Recognition, AI Networking, Record Growth & New Products

1. Ruijie Named a Representative Vendor in Gartner's 2026 Market Guide for Data Center Switching

Ruijie Networks has been named a Representative Vendor in Gartner's 2026 Market Guide for Data Center Switching - its second Gartner recognition in under a year, following its inclusion in the 2025 Market Guide for Campus Infrastructure and Operations Software (CIOS).

Gartner's latest report warns that as major vendors pivot toward AI workloads, most enterprise buyers face higher costs, longer lead times, and declining service quality in the data center switching market. Ruijie's inclusion signals that its data center switch portfolio has reached a level of maturity and global visibility that warrants attention from enterprise IT procurement teams worldwide.

On the campus side, Gartner recognised Ruijie Cloud as a representative CIOS platform for its ability to deliver unified management, security, and automation across multi-vendor hybrid network environments - a capability directly relevant to enterprise customers evaluating centralised network operations.

2. Ruijie's AIGC Intelligent Computing Network Solution Goes Live at Internet Enterprises

Ruijie Networks confirmed this week that its AIGC (AI-Generated Content) Intelligent Computing Center Network Solution has been successfully deployed at internet companies requiring high-performance computing infrastructure for large-model training and inference workloads.

The solution is engineered to deliver high-bandwidth, ultra-low-latency, and highly reliable network connectivity specifically designed for AI data centers. Ruijie stated that its core strategy remains leveraging its networking innovation advantage to explore deep integration between network technology and computing power demands, while driving construction of green, low-carbon intelligent computing networks.

The deployment marks a significant strategic milestone: Ruijie is moving beyond its traditional campus and SMB strongholds into the rapidly growing AI infrastructure market, where it now competes directly with Cisco, Huawei, and Arista Networks for high-performance data center interconnect contracts.

3. Revenue Hits CNY 14.3 Billion as Annual Earnings Growth Reaches 36.7%

Fresh financial data from Simply Wall St and Yahoo Finance confirms that Ruijie Networks (SZSE: 301165) delivered exceptional results over the past year. Revenue climbed from approximately CNY 11.7 billion to CNY 14.3 billion, while net income rose from CNY 574 million to CNY 696 million - an annual earnings growth rate of 36.7%, outpacing the broader communications industry average by more than 10 percentage points.

The company's current market capitalisation stands at approximately CNY 64 billion (around USD 8.8 billion). Network equipment remains the dominant revenue driver at CNY 12.5 billion, complemented by cloud desktop solutions and cybersecurity products. Each year, Ruijie allocates over 15% of sales revenue to R&D, with more than 30% of that budget directed at advanced pre-research - a ratio that underpins its sustained competitive edge in product innovation.

This financial momentum provides Ruijie with substantial capacity to accelerate global expansion, fund next-generation product development, and deepen its footprint across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.

4. Reyee Launches Wi-Fi 7 Flagship AP and e-Lighten 2.0 All-Optical Ethernet

Ruijie's SMB-focused Reyee brand has unveiled several new products, including cloud-managed 2.5G routers, a Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 dual-band wall-plate access point, and the e-Lighten 2.0 Simplified Optical Ethernet (SOE) solution - an all-optical network architecture built on a hybrid design for one-time deployment and decade-long maintenance-free operation.

The flagship RG-AP9861-R Wi-Fi 7 Access Point series stands out: a five-radio, 18-stream indoor AP delivering up to 24.436 Gbps aggregate throughput - approximately 20% faster than Wi-Fi 6. It features dual 10GbE uplinks, AI-powered full-band scanning, optional optical i-Share backhaul for simplified cabling, and full zero-touch provisioning that auto-registers to Ruijie Cloud or a local controller on first boot.

The e-Lighten 2.0 solution targets new-build and retrofit projects across campuses, factories, and large enterprise campuses. It promises flexible scalability, simplified centralised management, and compatibility with Wi-Fi 7, 5G, VR, and IoT - all over a single all-optical ethernet infrastructure that eliminates the need for repeated rewiring as network demands grow.

Summary

Across the past 48 hours, Ruijie Networks has made headlines on four fronts simultaneously: international analyst recognition, AI infrastructure deployment, record financial growth, and cutting-edge product launches. For enterprise buyers evaluating cost-effective, enterprise-grade networking alternatives, Ruijie's expanding global presence and accelerating innovation pipeline make it a brand worth serious consideration in 2026.
