5G Wi-Fi 7 Router for FWA: Why Teltonika ALTOS (CAP700) Is a Game-Changer

Between underserved areas, connection delays, and deployment costs, fiber isn't always a viable option. This is exactly where Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) makes perfect sense: using 5G as a WAN (Internet) link and redistributing connectivity within the building like a "classic" router, but at multi-gigabit speeds. Fixed 5G then becomes an alternative for many B2B deployments: fast site opening, no fiber to lay, and reliable speeds. In this context, Teltonika Networks' ALTOS router (CAP700 model) has a clear objective: to offer 5G + Wi-Fi 7 connectivity that is simple to install, secure, and remotely manageable.

ALTOS: 5G FWA as an alternative to fiber

ALTOS is designed to transform a 5G FWA connection into stable Internet access where fiber is unavailable or too costly. It supports 5G SA/NSA (standalone / non-standalone) to leverage current 5G networks while remaining "future-ready."

Specifically:

• 5G serves as the "backhaul" (the primary Internet link),
• Wi-Fi 7 distributes the bandwidth to all devices,
• and wired LAN secures critical uses (NVR, camera, desktop PC, etc.).

5G FWA: The smart shortcut when fiber isn't an option

ALTOS is a Wi-Fi 7 router for 5G FWA deployments: homes, small offices, light sites, temporary installations. Setup is very quick: power, a SIM card, configuration, and you get high-speed internet access without any construction. The router is 5G SA/NSA compatible with ultra-fast broadband where fiber is unavailable or too costly.

Wi-Fi 7 and multi-gigabit

IoT usage is exploding. The real pitfall of modern networks isn't just speed: it's competition between devices. In many projects, the question arises: "how many devices can be connected at the same time with stable bandwidth?". Wi-Fi 7 precisely brings more capacity and better performance in busy environments (video conferencing, mobile workstations, IoT, etc.). ALTOS is a "next-gen Wi-Fi 7" router with a multi-gigabit approach to remain fluid for modern uses.

However, some equipment requires a wired connection: video recorder, workstation, NAS, etc. Teltonika highlights a 2.5 Gbps LAN port to avoid creating a bottleneck on the local network side.

Security and operations, the real B2B criterion

Speed is good, but security and remote management are vital! ALTOS relies on RutOS and features:

• WPA3 (Wi-Fi),
• configurable firewall,
• VPN support,
• DDoS attack prevention.

On the operations side, RMS (Remote Management System) compatibility is a big plus: zero-touch deployment, fleet management, remote access… exactly what you want when service continuity really matters across 10, 50, or 500 sites, without multiplying travel.

For an ISP or a multi-site IT team, this means:

• fewer on-site interventions,
• remote updates and diagnostics,
• centralized fleet management (up to large volumes).

For which use cases is ALTOS most relevant?

ALTOS clearly targets deployments where very high bandwidth is desired without fiber, but with a higher level of control than for the general public:

• "Serious" homes / remote work: need for stability + security + low latency.
• Small offices / agencies: fast WAN access without construction, modern Wi-Fi, remote administration.
• ISPs / integrators: volume deployment, remote support, standardization via RMS.

ALTOS offers a fairly rare combination: 5G FWA + Wi-Fi 7 + "pro" security + fleet management. The goal is to provide a credible alternative to fiber, simple to deploy, but robust enough for demanding uses.

FAQ – Teltonika ALTOS / CAP700

• ALTOS and CAP700, are they the same thing?
  CAP700 is the model associated with the ALTOS range.
• For which use cases is the ALTOS 5G FWA router most suitable?
  Rapid deployments (temporary site, office opening), areas without fiber, or when fiber delays/costs are prohibitive.
• Does ALTOS support 5G SA and NSA?
  Yes, it is explicitly mentioned on the product page (5G SA/NSA).
• What security features are highlighted?
  WPA3, VPN, advanced firewall, user role management.
• Can it be remotely managed across multiple sites?
  Yes, ALTOS can be managed via RMS with zero-touch, fleet management, and remote access.
• Is it a "home" or "pro" router?
  Hybrid positioning: "home/small office" uses but with a RutOS + RMS foundation + B2B typical security functions.
• What does Wi-Fi 7 bring compared to Wi-Fi 6/6E in enterprise?
  In practice: more capacity and better performance under heavy load when there are many clients and demanding uses. ALTOS is specifically presented as a multi-gigabit Wi-Fi 7 solution oriented towards streaming/entertainment, but the benefits translate well to offices.
