Fiber Type Dependent Benefits When Deploying Up-to-300Gb/s Elastic Transponders Adapting to Ageing of Margins

We compare cost savings when planning a WDM French backbone network based on SSMF or LEAF, with 32 GBaud elastic optical transponders adapting their capacity from 100 to 300 Gb/s to the actual ageing margins.
