Premiere: FRITZ!Box 6670 Cable brings Wi-Fi 7 and Zigbee to cable connections

The FRITZ!Box 6670 Cable is celebrating its premiere at the Cologne exhibition and conference. It is a future-proof all-in-one router that allows users to take full advantage of the rapid speeds of cable connections. The fast FRITZ!Box 6670 Cable brings the new Wi-Fi 7 wireless standard to cable connections and ensures high-performance Wi-Fi. The 2.5 gigabit LAN port and four LAN ports also ensure fast data distribution in the home network. Innovative Mesh Wi-Fi features, a telephone system and a DECT base station for Smart Home applications and cordless phones round out the new FRITZ!Box Cable's portfolio. In addition to the DECT ULE standard, the new FRITZ!Box 6670 Cable supports the Zigbee Smart Home standard, which means a number of other devices can be integrated into and controlled in the Smart Home. It has a built-in TV tuner that enables television signals to be streamed in the home network via Wi-Fi. The FRITZ!Box 6670 Cable in a white, flat design will be demonstrated live at the stand alongside the cable flagship, the FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable.

For fiber optics and DSL with tri-band Mesh and Wi-Fi 7: The FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro

At ANGA COM, AVM will also show the new FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro for high performance directly at the connection. The innovative model can be used on both fiber optic and DSL connections. This combination enables fast and future-proof internet access and offers flexibility for regions where fiber has yet to be rolled out. In addition, the new FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro offers very powerful tri-band Mesh including 6 GHz, the new third Wi-Fi frequency band. The new FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro supports the current Wi-Fi 6 wireless standard as well as Wi-Fi 7, the next generation in Wi-Fi, with improvements in latency, speed and robustness. This combination will continue to enable powerful wireless communication for real-time applications such as cloud computing, virtual reality, and gaming in the future. The FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro in a new, upright design offers another highlight for the Smart Home: In addition to DECT ULE, it also has the Zigbee wireless standard on board and is prepared for Matter - for more smart applications at home.

The power package: FRITZ!Box 5690 XGS for fiber optics with up to 10 gigabit/s

The ultra-fast FRITZ!Box 5690 XGS will also be on display in Cologne. A real powerhouse, it reaches speeds of up to 10 gigabit/s in fiber optic networks with the XGS-PON standard. With powerful Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6, a 10 gigabit WAN/LAN port, and the full range of telephony, Smart Home, and networking features familiar from FRITZ!Box, it is the fiber gateway for all digital applications at home. In addition to DECT ULE it also supports Zigbee and is compatible with the Matter standard.

FRITZ!Smart Gateway: Integrate more smart devices and LED lights into the Smart Home

This year, AVM has also added Zigbee wireless technology to the FRITZ! Smart Home. In addition to DECT ULE, devices with Zigbee can now also be connected directly with the FRITZ!Box. The first products to support both Zigbee and DECT are the FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro, the FRITZ!Box 5690 XGS, the FRITZ!Box 6670 Cable and the already available FRITZ!Smart Gateway. This plug-in gateway combines DECT and Zigbee in one device and expands the FRITZ! Smart Home with a number of new applications. A number of integration options open up, especially for lighting control, since Zigbee LED lights from other manufacturers that users already own can be easily integrated into the FRITZ! Smart Home. Via the smart gateway, existing FRITZ!Box models will also become Zigbee-capable.
