十年前，低功耗广域物联网（LPWAN）进入业界视野，这一赛道开启了群雄逐鹿的过程，虽然各类技术层出不穷， 但最终3GPP阵营和LoRa阵营占据了主导，基本覆盖了大部分低功耗广域连接场景，前者代表性技术包括NB-IoT和 LTE-M，后者借助LoRa联盟推出的LoRaWAN规范和众多厂商私有化LoRa协议为用户提供服务。 如今，以卫星通信为代表的非地面网络（NTN）成为物联网的一个热点领域，通过卫星物联网，为此前服务不足的地 区提供无处不在的连接解决方案。而在卫星物联网发展过程中，3GPP阵营和LoRa阵营又一次相遇，借助各自的技术 体系不断推进商用。目前，卫星物联网还处于起步阶段，这一次基本没有其他LPWAN阵营的加入，主要是NB-IoT和 LoRaWAN在天上的角逐。 LoRa阵营拓展卫星物联网由来已久 早在2018年，LoRa阵营的支持者就在探索LoRa用于卫星物联网下应用的可能性，在一次验证中，LoRa接收机捕捉到 了从低轨卫星传来的信号。彼时，LoRa技术得到全球广泛支持，已经在数十项LPWAN技术竞争中表现突出。卫星物 联网的成功验证，提升了LoRa阵营进一步扩大影响力的信心。 2022年2月，Lo ...
