Infrastrutture Wireless Italiane S.p.A. or, in short form, INWIT S.p.A., is an Italian joint-stock company headquartered in Milan, which operates in the wireless network infrastructure sector.
With over eleven thousand towers, INWIT is currently Italy's major Tower Operator providing, as Neutral Host, widespread coverage throughout the country, hosting the transmission equipment for all main national operators. In addition to hosting telco operators on its towers, INWIT is in the process of setting up a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) network that will guarantee excellent coverage in densely populated urban areas like some of Italy's historic centres and other public areas, as well as in large enclosed areas such as stadiums, railway stations,[2] concert areas,[3] historic villages,[4] museums,[5] hotels.[6]
