There are already many fiber optic connections in the Netherlands. If you want to take full advantage of this, a good fiber optic modem is of course important. The AVM FRITZ!Box 5590 Fiber (AON & XGS-PON) is now available.
In the whole of the Netherlands, more than 5.3 million of the more than 8 million households are currently connected to fiber optics. If the current pace continues, the whole of the Netherlands will have a fiber optic connection (well) before 2030. Good news, because FRITZ! has released a new FRITZ!Box for this: the FRITZ!Box 5590 Fiber. With this new fiber optic modem, suitable for every fiber optic connection in the Netherlands, consumers get a lot out of their internet.
Fiber optic power with Wi-Fi 6
The FRITZ!Box 5590 Fiber offers the full range of FRITZ!Box functions directly to the fiber optic connection. Various fiber optic technologies are used in the Netherlands. The FRITZ!Box 5590 Fiber therefore comes in the following 2 variants, the AON and the XGS-PON version. The younger brother, the FRITZ!Box 5530 Fiber, previously only available with an AON connection, is now also available in the XGS-PON variant.
With the FRITZ!Box 5590 Fiber, the SFP module is already inserted into the built-in connection for the fiber optic module – depending on the FRITZ!Box model, this is an SFP module for AON or for XGS-PON. To distribute the gigabit speeds wirelessly in the home in a secure way, the new fiber flag range – the FRITZ!Box 5590 Fiber – is equipped with the standard Wi-Fi 6 (4 x 4). In addition, this showpiece has a 2.5 gigabit WAN connection that can also be used as a LAN. As icing on the cake, the model has four gigabit LAN and two USB 3.0 ports.
