Communication is an important element used to help realize common interests in achieving a goal to be achieved. Communication is very necessary in the continuity of the learning process, especially during this Covid-19 period. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought significant changes to various sectors, including the education sector, where all rely on the use of technology that can connect teachers and students, thus making it easy for students to get good network coverage to take part in online learning. This is a major problem for students who live in areas with minimal signal, where each student has to struggle to find a signal and even climb a hill which of course will be dangerous for his safety, as happened in Pationgi village, where the location is very far from the city, resulting in network coverage in the village is very minimal. The implementation of PKM will be a solution for the community in providing an alternative by converting used frying pans into simple signal amplifiers. This used skillet will be combined with a repeater equipped with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable so that the signal produced is much better and facilitates internet access through the empowerment of the youth of the Pationgi village mosque. The impact of implementing PKM supports the learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic, increases partner creativity and supports digital literacy programs.
Desa Pationgi merupakan salah satu Desa yang berada di Kecamatan Patimpeng dengan jarak dari kota Kabupaten sangatlah jauh berkisar 67,5 km yang harus ditempuh selama 2-3 jam sebab infrastruktur jalan yang masih jauh dari kata layak. Masalah lain yang menjadi fokus utama saat ini adalah jangkauan jaringan atau signal bagi para pelajar yang melaksanakan pembelajaran online selama pandemi Covid-19 dimana setiap pelajar harus berjuang mencari signal bahkan mendaki bukit yang tentunya berbahaya bagi keselamatannya. Pelaksanaan PKM akan membantu masyarakat dalam memberikan solusi khususnya dalam pemenuhan akses jaringan melalui pemberdayaan remaja mesjid desa Pationgi. Salah satu kegiatan transformasi yang dilaksanakan adalah mengubah wajan bekas menjadi alat bantu penguat signal sederhana. Wajan bekas ini akan dikombinasikan dengan repeater dan kabel UTP supaya signal yang dihasilkan jauh lebih baik serta memudahkan akses internet. Dampak dari pelaksanaan yaitu dapat mendukung proses pembelajaran selama masa pandemi Covid-19 didaerah Minim signal
