High-capacity solutions are about building high-capacity networks in the most economical way, and therefore, GSM radio network capacity solutions are becoming increasingly important. Radio network capacity solutions can be divided into three categories: cell capacity, network capacity, and channel capacity.

He also describes different implementations and recommends three general steps for introducing solutions in the network.
