1. A system for capacity management, the system comprising:
a plurality of radio access network (RAN) nodes comprising a first set of RAN nodes and a second set of RAN nodes, the first set of RAN nodes being farther than a threshold distance from the second set of RAN nodes;
a first network manager in communication with the first set of RAN nodes and a second network manager in communication with the second set of RAN nodes; and
a multi-network management system capable of communicating with the plurality of RAN nodes for capacity management of the plurality of RAN nodes based on key performance indicators (KPIs), the multi-network management system configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from the first network manager and the second network manager, a first set of KPIs that includes at least one KPI for each of the plurality of RAN nodes;
determining a degradation for a first RAN node of the first set of RAN nodes based on receiving the first set of KPIs; and
based on the degradation for the first RAN node, increasing a rate at which the first network manager receives a second set of KPIs from the first RAN node, the rate being based on a first capacity associated with the first network manager and the first set of RAN nodes.
