INWIT’s digital and multi-operator infrastructure is a fundamental part of the country’s technological assets and enables 4G and 5G mobile connectivity everywhere, in outdoor and indoor environments, from cities to the most remote villages.
Telecommunications towers enable mobile operators to broadcast their network signals across a wide area, both in densely populated urban areas and in more remote locations.
INWIT builds and manages shared, multi-operator towers, reducing duplication of infrastructure and optimising resources. The towers promote the development of the 5G network, improve access to digital services and strengthen the resilience of the national telecommunications system. Strategic for the digitalisation of urban centres, public administrations, businesses and rural communities, they contribute to a more connected and sustainable future.
Each tower can transmit between 1 and 10 TB of data per day, covering an area ranging from 1 to 300 km². It manages up to 10,000 devices connected simultaneously in 5G and enables high-performance streaming, downloads, and real-time services.
Our model is ‘sustainable by design’: each tower is designed to accommodate multiple operators and technologies, avoiding duplication and reducing environmental impact. Between 2015 and 2024, the infrastructure sharing model has reduced emissions by over 2.5 million tonnes of CO₂.
With the PNRR's Italy 5G Plan, we are bringing multi-operator 5G mobile connectivity to 500 km² of digital divide, helping to enable digital services and improve the quality of life in these villages.
Small cells are mini radio stations that boost mobile network capacity in high-traffic locations, such as city centres, stadiums, conference centres, university campuses and places of particular architectural interest. Despite their small size, they offer stable, high-performance connectivity, reducing the risk of network congestion.
They are particularly useful in complex contexts where traditional towers alone require assistance to provide more uniform coverage. Small cells enhance the digital experience of citizens, tourists and students, ensuring seamless access to digital services, real-time streaming and innovative 5G-based applications.
INWIT’s DAS systems and repeaters ensure stable, multi-operator coverage in all indoor environments, including complex structures such as hospitals, museums, universities and shopping centres, stadiums, underground stations, airports, railway stations, industrial buildings, bank branches and hotels. This ensures efficient, continuous and secure connectivity, capable of supporting advanced applications useful for their business, such as telemedicine or digital education.
The DAS (Distributed Antenna System) indoor coverage system is designed to efficiently distribute mobile signals within large buildings or enclosed spaces such as hospitals, universities, museums, hotels, stadiums, shopping centres or underground stations. With distributed and networked antennas, DAS ensures uniform coverage, high speed and multi-operator stability. This technology overcomes the difficulties associated with architectural structures that hinder signal propagation.
The adoption of indoor DAS improves the quality of operators’ mobile services, enables innovative digital solutions and supports the transition to more modern, interactive and accessible environments. It is a concrete response to the connectivity needs of complex and highly frequented spaces.
Repeaters are devices that capture the mobile signal from outside and amplify it inside small to medium-sized buildings. These include offices, restaurants and shops. They are a particularly effective solution for offices, restaurants and shops, where the installation of DAS is not possible or convenient, while still guaranteeing service quality.
The Wi-Fi solutions offered by INWIT enable simple, immediate, and secure connections in both public and private environments. By integrating with mobile networks, Wi-Fi becomes an essential tool for citizens, tourists, professionals, and students who need fast access to digital services. Thanks to advanced network management, it is possible to guarantee service quality, data protection, and continuity in the browsing experience. This technology helps enrich everyday life, making spaces such as campuses, libraries, hotels, conference centers, and urban areas more attractive and functional. Next-generation Wi-Fi is a key ally in the development of smart communities.
IoT enables new opportunities for cities, businesses and public services. Thanks to INWIT’s digital infrastructure, connected sensors and devices can:
IoT simplifies processes, reduces waste, and paves the way for sustainable and intelligent solutions. From applications in the healthcare sector to environmental monitoring, logistics, and precision agriculture, IoT networks turn data into value, improving the quality of life of communities and increasing the efficiency of businesses and public administration.
Shared passive infrastructure is the key to a more efficient, sustainable and resilient network. With INWIT, companies, operators and public administrations can count on a solid network that is ready to grow with them.
INWIT's towers and DAS systems bring 5G even to the most remote areas, enabling advanced digital services in cities, towns and rural areas. This is also a concrete step towards overcoming the digital divide.
INWIT's multi-operator business model generates economic and industrial efficiency for our customers.
Our sustainable model avoids infrastructure duplication, reduces consumption and has prevented over 2.5 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
In 2024, INWIT generated an impact on Italian GDP of €1.3 billion; 82% of Italian municipalities have at least one INWIT tower.
INWIT works alongside ANCI and UNCEM to simplify the installation of digital networks and accelerate technological transition, even in mountainous and rural areas. Connectivity built together.
From 5G coverage in indoor environments to fire prevention with IoT sensors: INWIT's infrastructure enables smart services for a safer, more functional and sustainable life.
Towers become platforms for environmental monitoring, traffic control, and emergency management, increasing control and protection for the environment and communities.
INWIT provides “mission critical systems,” i.e., digital infrastructures that represent the heart of connectivity, which are essential for mobile operators, but also for sectors such as public safety, retail, healthcare, and transportation. Their reliability is essential to ensure operational continuity and strategic digital services throughout the country.
