AVM is presenting the FRITZ! WLAN Repeater 310 for the first time at the IFA. The new model impresses above all with its small and compact design. Only 8 cm high and around 6 cm wide, it is no bigger than a socket. The FRITZ! WLAN Repeater 310 is particularly powerful, transmits with WLAN N and up to 300 Mbit / s and uses Transmit Beam Forming (TxBF) for a higher data throughput. Five LEDs for displaying the field strength facilitate optimal positioning in the apartment. The average power consumption is around 2 watts. The new FRITZ! WLAN Repeater automatically takes over the night service of a FRITZ! Box. The connection is made easily and securely at the push of a button via the WPS button. The new FRITZ! WLAN Repeater 310 is available after the IFA for 49 euros (RRP).

FRITZ! Powerline 530E and 510E - even more energy efficient, especially small

With FRITZ! Powerline 530E and 510E, AVM is expanding its powerline product range. With their 100 Mbit LAN connection, both models are even more energy-efficient in operation and economical in standby. Due to the very small dimensions (510E: 5,7 cm wide x 7,8 cm high x 2,7 cm deep) they can be used inconspicuously at any socket. The 530E also has an integrated socket. Like the current Powerline products 520E and 500E equipped with Gigabit LAN, the new products 530E and 510E also rely on data transfers of up to 500 Mbit / s over the power line. FRITZ! Powerline is ideally suited for high-speed home networking with a FRITZ! Box, NAS connection, HD and 3D entertainment or music and video streaming anywhere in the house. Both products will go on sale in October.

FRITZ! DECT 200 - the first intelligent socket from AVM

For the first time, AVM is connecting the home network with the smart home and is presenting FRITZ!DECT 200, an intelligent socket, at IFA. The successful DECT technology is also used for measuring, regulating and controlling home automation. The clever functions include, for example, the use of a weekly calendar, an astro function (sunrise and sunset) for automatic switching or control via a Google calendar. FRITZ!DECT 200 measures the energy consumption of connected devices, even over a longer period of time, and provides information about power consumption and switching times via pushmail. The intelligent socket can be used in conjunction with a FRITZ!Box* With integrated DECT base you can also control it via PC or telephone. And via the MyFRITZ! service FRITZ!Box* FRITZ!DECT can also be accessed while on the go. Like all FRITZ! products, FRITZ!DECT 200 also has an update function so that additional applications can be integrated via a firmware update. The intelligent socket is integrated into the home network via DECT ULE (Ultra-low Energy). In contrast to other radio technologies in home automation, DECT ULE relies on its own frequency band at 1880 MHz. This ensures interception security and a long range between 50 and 300 meters. Following the IFA, FRITZ!DECT 200 will be available first in the FRITZ! Laboratory available.
