Network coverage refers to the total geographic area covered by a wireless mobile network. It is the area where a wireless signal can be reliably received and transmitted. Telecom operators provide mobile networks with the help of the wireless network infrastructure that consists of a series of cell towers, base stations, and antennas. When a mobile device is switched on and connected to a wireless network, it sends a signal to the nearest cell tower or base station. The cell tower then communicates with the device and connects it to the network, allowing the user to access voice, text, and data services.

The quality of network coverage can depend on several factors, such as the strength of the signal, the frequency bands used, the distance from the nearest cell tower, and any obstacles or interference in the surrounding environment.
