Overview: Ruijie Reyee's Approach to Outdoor Wireless Connectivity
Ruijie Reyee, the SMB-focused brand of Ruijie Networks, is a professional networking technology company headquartered in China and supported by 8 global R&D centers. The brand serves global SMB and commercial markets, positioning itself around simplified networking solutions, cloud-managed infrastructure, and cost-effective enterprise-grade products designed for easy deployment by system integrators, installers, and MSPs.
For businesses evaluating a wireless bridge company, the core question is usually the same: can the vendor deliver reliable long-distance connectivity without the cost and complexity of trenching fiber or running new cable? Ruijie Reyee answers this question through its Wireless Bridge / Outdoor CPE (AirMetro Series), a dedicated product line built for long-distance wireless transmission in outdoor networking, CCTV backhaul, and rural connectivity scenarios.
Product Positioning: AirMetro Series
The AirMetro Series is described as a long-distance wireless transmission solution for outdoor networking, CCTV backhaul, and rural connectivity. It is not a general-purpose indoor access point; it is purpose-built for scenarios where running physical cable is impractical, expensive, or simply impossible.
Target Customers
The AirMetro Series is designed for a specific set of buyers who regularly face outdoor connectivity gaps, including:
- CCTV installers
- Construction sites
- Farms
- Remote buildings
- Wireless ISPs
Industry Pain Points Addressed
These customers consistently need:
- A fiber alternative for locations where cable installation is costly or unavailable
- Long-distance connectivity that does not degrade over extended spans
- Fast deployment that does not require specialized labor
- Lower installation cost compared to traditional wired infrastructure
Differentiated Advantages of the AirMetro Series
AirMetro Wireless Technology
The AirMetro Series is engineered to support both point-to-point (PTP) and point-to-multipoint (PTMP) wireless configurations, giving integrators flexibility depending on whether they are linking two fixed sites or distributing connectivity from a single base station to multiple remote endpoints.
30-Second Pairing
One of the most practical advantages for field technicians is the 30-second pairing feature. This capability translates directly into:
- Faster installation on-site, reducing the time crews spend at each location
- Reduced labor cost, since pairing no longer requires extended configuration sessions
- Simplified deployment, which lowers the technical barrier for installation teams
PTMP Capability
For wireless ISPs and larger outdoor projects, the PTMP mode allows one base station to support up to 32 CPE connections. This scalability is particularly relevant for operators who need to extend connectivity to multiple remote endpoints from a single access point rather than deploying a separate point-to-point link for every location.
Typical Applications
CCTV Wireless Backhaul
In scenarios such as parking lots, construction sites, and large outdoor areas, the AirMetro Series allows security integrators to avoid fiber installation entirely while still achieving long-distance camera connections. This is especially useful where digging trenches or running conduit across large open areas would be disruptive or cost-prohibitive.
Rural Internet Connectivity
For farms and remote buildings, the AirMetro Series provides an affordable way to extend broadband service into areas that traditional wired infrastructure does not reach economically. This directly addresses the "fiber alternative" pain point that many rural and remote-site customers face.
Building-to-Building Connection
The AirMetro Series is also applied to link office buildings and warehouses, allowing organizations with multiple structures on the same property—or nearby properties—to establish network connectivity without laying new cable between sites.
Backed by the Unified Reyee Ecosystem
A wireless bridge does not operate in isolation; it is part of a broader network. This is where the Reyee Cloud Platform becomes relevant. Ruijie Reyee's cloud platform is designed to provide unified management across all six product categories in its portfolio—including switches, PoE switches, WiFi APs, routers, and outdoor wireless devices such as the AirMetro Series.
Lifetime Free Core Cloud Management
Compared with traditional subscription-based platforms, Ruijie Reyee's cloud management does not require a mandatory subscription fee, which contributes to a lower total ownership cost for businesses managing outdoor wireless links alongside their broader network infrastructure.
Full Network Portfolio
Because the AirMetro Series sits within a complete SMB networking ecosystem that also includes Cloud Managed Switches, PoE Switches, WiFi 6/WiFi 7 APs, Industrial Switches, and Business Routers, integrators and MSPs deploying wireless bridges can also manage the rest of a customer's network—cameras, access points, and gateways—from the same cloud console rather than juggling multiple vendor platforms.
Industries That Rely on Outdoor Wireless Bridging
The pain points solved by the AirMetro Series—avoiding fiber installation, achieving long-distance connectivity, and enabling fast, low-cost deployment—are relevant across a range of target industries in the broader Reyee ecosystem, including construction sites, warehouses, and energy systems, where remote monitoring and outdoor connectivity are recurring operational needs.
Conclusion
For system integrators, installers, and wireless ISPs evaluating outdoor connectivity options, the Ruijie Reyee AirMetro Series addresses the core pain points of long-distance wireless deployment: eliminating the need for fiber, supporting both PTP and PTMP configurations, enabling 30-second pairing for faster installation, and scaling to support up to 32 CPE connections per base station in PTMP mode. Paired with the Reyee Cloud Platform and its lifetime free core cloud management, the AirMetro Series is positioned as part of a broader, unified networking ecosystem—one that allows businesses to manage outdoor wireless bridges, switches, access points, and routers under a single, cost-conscious management approach suited to CCTV installers, construction projects, farms, remote buildings, and wireless ISPs alike.
