Valid and Airalo Strengthen Global eSIM Experience with Advanced Remote SIM Provisioning and Quality of Service Intelligence

Madrid, Spain — February 4, 2026 – Valid, a global leader in Trusted Connectivity and eSIM technologies, announced today a strategic collaboration with Airalo, the world’s largest eSIM ​platform​​​, with coverage in over 200 ​destinations​​ and a user base of more than 20 million users, to enhance customer experience with Valid’s Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) platform and its Quality of Service (QoS) intelligence solution.

Airalo now leverages Valid’s high-availability SM-DP+ platform to securely manage the lifecycle of eSIM profiles worldwide, while also benefiting from Valid’s QoS as a value-added layer to monitor, compare, and optimize connectivity performance across partner networks in real time.

Quality of Service: A Value-Added Layer for Experience Excellence

Valid’s Quality of Service solution is delivered as a distinct intelligence layer that continuously evaluates mobile network performance across different carriers and regions.

This empowers Airalo to:

  • Track key quality indicators such as data throughput, network availability, latency, and out of service alerts
  • Benchmark network partners across destinations
  • Detect performance issues proactively
  • Guarantee the best possible connectivity experience for travelers
  • Learn about OEM devices acting differently in the same networks

By providing end-to-end visibility ​into​​ the user’s connectivity journey, Valid’s QoS supports Airalo in delivering a fast, reliable, and frictionless eSIM activation experience.

Although QoS is currently deployed to enhance Airalo’s travel eSIM offering, the platform is architected with broader potential — including applications in IoT connectivity scenarios where large-scale devices also benefit from real-time network insights.

Driving Seamless Global Connectivity

Valid’s RSP infrastructure ensures secure and scalable eSIM profile downloads, delivering faster activation flows and consistent performance across devices. Combined with QoS intelligence, Airalo gains full visibility of the connectivity experience—resulting in an enhanced, reliable service for millions of users.

“Airalo is simplifying how people connect globally, and Valid is proud to help power that experience with secure eSIM provisioning and advanced network intelligence,” said Gustavo Rubio, Worldwide Solutions Sales Director at Valid. “Our Quality of Service solution ensures Airalo users always receive the highest-quality connectivity, wherever they are.”

“Our priority is a high-quality, honest product, and Valid gives us the technical foundation to back that up,” says Peter Nussbaumer, VP of Networks at Airalo. “Their insights allow us to move beyond basic connectivity and provide a layer of intelligence that ensures our customers stay safe and connected, no matter where they are.”​​​​

Environmental compensation

In order to make a significant difference and bring a real benefit to our environment and planet, Valid decided to create, together with Plastic Bank, an environmental compensation program.

Plastic Bank is a social enterprise empowering a regenerative society. They build ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal communities and reprocess the materials for reintroduction into the global supply chain as Social PlasticTM.

Their collectors receive a compensation for the materials they collect which helps them to provide basic family necessities such as groceries, cooking fuel, school tuition, and health insurance.

Their certified blockchain platform secures the entire transaction and provides real-time data visualization – allowing for transparency, traceability, and rapid scalability.

Compensation Program

With this goal, Plastic Bank is relying on companies like Valid to support the collection process of the plastic in order to:

Mitigate the impact of many corporations and potentially reduce, offset or decrease the plastic footprint of their operations.

Improve the social and economic situations in different regions of the world by creating job opportunities through plastic waste collection.

Supports environmental stewardship and circular economy.

For every SIM card that our customers sell to their consumers under this program, Valid will collect one plastic bottle from the environment.
