MWC 2023 starts today and AVM did not miss meeting the popular event that takes place in Barcelona. The German company participated accompanied by very interesting news that confirms it commitment to new generation standardsand the renewal of the catalog, which will allow it to establish itself as one of the most important companies in the field.
First in the list of AVM news FRITZ! Box 5690 ProThe router, which for the first time includes fiber optic and DSL support in the same device, is compatible with Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 standards and also with three-band Mesh networks. This translates into great versatility and facilitates its use and integration in a variety of environments, including regions where fiber optic deployment is not yet a reality.
Its compatibility with Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 is also important, as this means that it is able to offer a high level of performance and is ready for make the most of the future of wireless connections. As many of our readers know, Wi-Fi will not only offer better performance, but will also have improvements in terms of latency, which will translate into a clearly better user experience.

FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro stands upright and has a design that preserves the classic essence of AVM products, something that is clearly appreciated in the minimalism and combination of white and red colors, but also includes minor changes that give it a more stylized profile.
Now we turn to the conversation FRITZ!Box 5690 XGS, a router designed for optical fibers that becomes the fastest and most powerful from the German company. With XGS-PON networks, it is capable of reaching speeds of 10 Gbps. It’s also compatible with Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 and comes with a 10 Gbps WAN/LAN port, meaning it’s a very complete model capable of offering a high level of functionality.
AVM has not forgotten those who need to be connected anywhere without depending on the Wi-Fi network. We have proof of this in FRITZ! Box 6860 5G, a 5G and Wi-Fi 6 compatible wireless access point that is capable of offering wireless speeds of up to 1.3 Gbps and can seamlessly work with a mesh network. It has a “PoE” (Power Over Ethernet) connector, which makes it much easier to place it in any corner of our home or office, and it comes with a signal optimization assistant.
I couldn’t miss either FRITZ! OS 7.50, one of the biggest updates to the well-known AVM operating system, which as we know is based on Linux, brings more than 150 new features and improvements. In the field of home automation, the German company announced its first products compatible with the Zigbee protocol, which is quickly making its way into the world of smart homes thanks to its low power consumption.
