AVM has announced the market launch of several new devices: the FRITZ!Box 5690 (fiber router) and new repeaters including the FRITZ!Repeater 2700 and 2700 Outdoor. While AVM previewed these devices earlier, the company says they are now being offered for sale. Availability is currently rolling out via ISPs and some vendors; not all models are yet widely listed in AVM’s online shop.
