40 Gbit/s networks, however, still pose a vexing financial challenge. In order for it to be accepted as a feasible upgrade from 10 Gbit/s transmission, the 40 Gbit/s system would have to be four times less expensive. Even though this is not yet the case, some tier-1 carriers that envision substantial growth have turned to 40 Gbit/s to provide them with vastly superior traffic capacity. Most of these network operators are considering the possibility of implementing of 40 Gbit/s networks within a year or two. If it is determined that the transmission technology is cost-effective and efficient, operators will need to be ready to confront the potential issues involved in the infrastructure and deployment.
