    This thesis offers a thorough techno-economic analysis of elastic optical networks' (EONs) implementation. In order to avoid higher operational expenditure and to create flexible communication networks, EONs have emerged as a possible alternative. This study intends to examine the technical and financial elements of EON deployment, assessing its viability, affordability, and possible advantages in the case of Ethio Telecom network. To create a complete techno-economic model, a number of input factors are taken into account, including traffic demand, network topologies, transmission methods, spectrum allocation, equipment costs, operating expenses, revenue models, discount rate, and economic indicators. The techno-economic study examines the effects of many parameters on the effectiveness and financial sustainability of EON deployment using the proposed model. The paper also discusses the difficulties and constraints of EON implementation, including system adaptability, upgradeability, and compatibility with changing network requirements. The research's findings help decision-makers make well-informed decisions about network infrastructure expenditures by advancing our knowledge of the techno-economic elements of EON deployment.
