Coverage

Coverage measurements were performed around the node area in July 2021. In total, 97 measurements were taken along Amsterdam Ave. The measurement results are presented below.

The measurements show above -65 dBm RSSI at a link distance over 600m distance away. These measurements demonstrate that s1-lg1 provides coverage to a significant portion of Amsterdam Ave even past 125th St.

Future Work

Further measurements on Amsterdam Ave. to cover more distance, as well as measurements on side streets.
