A cost model for optical networks in the framework of the SEASON project, aimed at supporting a broad spectrum of techno-economic evaluations. The model is constructed using publicly available data and expert insights from project participants. Its generalizable design allows it to be used both within the SEASON project and as a reference for other studies. By harmonizing assumptions and cost parameters, the model fosters consistency across different analyses. It includes cost and power consumption data for a wide range of commercially available optical network components (including transceivers for point-to-multipoint communications).
