eSIM & iSIM Trends for IoT and Devices | Valid x Kaleido Intelligene
In this exclusive interview hosted by Kaleido Intelligence — a leading research and advisory firm in the telecom and financial services sectors — Caio Hamer, an expert in Product Marketing for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), explores the most significant developments in eSIM and iSIM technology. Hamer explains how innovations such as multiple enabled profiles and seamless device transfers, introduced in GSMA’s latest SGP22 specification, are improving user experience and enabling the rise of eSIM-only devices. He also discusses the importance of the new eSIM for IoT specification (SGP32), which now supports low-power and hard-to-reach devices, introducing critical features like rollback connectivity. Additionally, Hamer highlights how iSIM is technically ready for mass deployment and has the potential to simplify device compatibility, improve efficiency, and accelerate large-scale rollouts.
In the second part of the conversation, Caio shares his views on the key drivers for widespread consumer eSIM adoption, emphasizing the urgent need for more compatible devices across all market tiers, especially mid- and low-range segments. He also outlines how Valid — a company with nearly 70 years of experience in mobile services — is enabling this industry shift by offering a full range of interoperable solutions, including eSIM, iSIM, SMDP+, SM-SR, and more.
