What are the penalties for using an unauthorized signal booster in Italy


In Italy, the Italian Communications Authority (AGCOM) regulates mobile signal boosters, and devices need AGCOM certification[1]. Adhering to AGCOM guidelines for installation is essential to avoid interference[1]. Using unauthorized signal boosters in Italy can result in fines and legal issues[1].

It's worth noting that while one source indicates that mobile phone signal boosters for homes and businesses are legal to use in Italy without a license, this seems to contradict the information about AGCOM certification[1][5]. It is important to ensure that any signal booster used is AGCOM-certified to avoid penalties[1].
