Here is the answer from AVM:

Good day,

Thank you for your inquiry and your interest in our products.

You’re right, the FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro and the FRITZ!Box 5690 XGS have been announced for a long time (since the beginning of 2023).

The FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro will probably start in June / July. The FRITZ!Box 5690 XGS will also follow, but there is no specific date or date for the market launch yet. The proportion of XGS-PON connections is very small in Germany.

All known information about the FRITZ!Box 5690 XGS can be found here:

Unfortunately, further information about the specific market launch is not yet available.

Thank you for your patience and have a pleasant Tuesday.

Kind regards from Berlin

It’s understandable since they mainly have GPON and they’re not in a hurry with the XGS version.
Maybe it should be mentioned again that in Switzerland we mostly use XGS and that they could make some progress for us 🤔

Switzerland is too small a market - the fries here are in small quantities compared to Germany

(Sunrise has had its own boxes for a long time) And iWay, Green, init7, etc. also don’t produce mass quantities….

And the frit users at Swisscom are probably in the 2-3 digit range at most…

All of that doesn’t really make things interesting for AVM…

I still received feedback from AVM.

Quote:

The FRITZ!Box 5690 XGS is scheduled to come onto the market this year. The XGS-PON support makes it particularly interesting for the Swiss market, so I assume that the Swiss version will come quickly.

According to AVM support, the Fritzbox 5690 XGS will be available in Q2 2025 at the earliest, which means we will soon be at the 2-year mark since AVM started talking about it.

      So now almost exactly two years have passed since @Bergler asked the question.

      At least it’s now said to be coming in Q1 2025, but I won’t believe that until it’s available 🙃

      That’s worse than delivery dates for new cars 😂

        cybi the XGS-PON version is not yet available for purchase. and then Swisscom still has to certify it. In DE this version is simply not a priority. I am currently using the 5590 fibre.
