Summary: Satellite Internet of Things refers to using satellite communication technologies to extend the coverage of IoT. To improve the coverage of IoT and support the massive connection demand of IoT devices, IoT gateways can use satellite communications. The Satellite IoT breaks through the geographical constraints of terrestrial IoT networks, realizing seamless coverage across ocean, desert, polar regions and other remote areas that are difficult for terrestrial infrastructure to reach. From the technical operation perspective, Satellite IoT optimizes the end-to-end interaction efficiency of the IoT system by integrating satellite communication technologies with IoT. It supports the differentiated needs of massive low-power, low-rate terminal devices and high-speed, high-reliability professional terminals, forming a multi-level and multi-service IoT system. This draft Recommendation defines the requirements of satellite usage to IoT, provides the framework of Satellite Internet of Things.
