Cultural Tip
In Italy, ‘copertura’ is the usual word for signal reach, whether it’s mobile, TV or Wi‑Fi. When speaking to non‑technical people, Italians often prefer the simpler ‘portata’ (range). The term ‘Wi‑Fi’ is universally understood, but you’ll also hear ‘rete wireless’ in more formal contexts.
