Investigation of mid-term network migration scenarios comparing multi-band and multi-fiber deployments

We compared two different mid-term migration scenarios for core network capacity scaling, realized using either multi-band or multi-fiber systems. We show, under realistic assumptions of current costs, that the multi-fiber system is more cost-effective.
