English term or phrase: coverage holes
I'm honestly afraid to translate this term literally (buracos de cobertura) because I think it sounds awkward. I don't know, maybe it's just me. Could I be wrong?

Thanks and here's the context:

Video traffic requires continuous, uninterrupted bandwidth. Interference and multipath fading result in reduced and unpredictable signal strength, **coverage holes** and packet errors

áreas sem cobertura
Explanation:
I understand it to mean areas (holes) where there is little or no wireless signal (coverage) due to the problems mentioned.

"Coverage hole is an area within the radio coverage footprint of a wireless system in which the RF signal level is below the design threshold."
