Node {{{s3-lg1}}} is the third sector of [https://wiki.cosmos-lab.org/wiki/Hardware/Nodes#LargeNode Large Node] 1, located on the roof of the Mudd Building at Columbia University. Unlike sectors 1 and 2, sector 3's [https://wiki.cosmos-lab.org/wiki/Hardware/antennas#Directionallargenodesector antenna] is pointed in a southerly direction overlooking the Columbia Morningside Heights campus.

==== Coverage
[https://wiki.cosmos-lab.org/wiki/Hardware/Nodes/Measurements Coverage measurements] were performed around the campus area in August 2020. Subsequent measurements were performed in May 2021 to both corroborate the measurements from August 2020 as well as extend the measurement area. In total, 352 measurements were taken in a roughly 5m-spaced grid in the campus and Broadway areas. The measurement results are presented below.

These measurements demonstrate an RSSI of around -85 dBm at a 300m straight-line distance, even in the presence of multiple buildings blocking line of sight. As would be expected, the locations close to the node experience higher RSSI. 

Of particular note are the measurements in the southeastern area. This area is not only shadowed by several buildings, but is also outside of the beam width of {{{s3-lg1}}}'s antenna. This demonstrates that {{{s3-lg1}}} provides coverage for a significant area of the Columbia campus, making it useful for experiments undertaken in this area.

==== To-Do
Further measurements around Butler Library in the southern area of the campus.
