Flexible Transceivers and the Rate/Reach Trade-off

□ What are flexible transceivers and why are they needed? □ Transceivers that enable operation at one of multiple data rates, by changing at least one parameter such as the modulation format, symbol rate or number of subcarriers used for an aggregate channel. □ Flexibility realized using a common, fixed hardware configuration, with functionality selected via software commands.
