The Smart Metering eSIM Playbook | Utility Device Makers
A strategic guide for device makers on implementing SGP.32 eSIM technology for IoT
Smart metering deployments for electricity, gas, and water are becoming increasingly complex. Manufacturers must balance long lifecycles of ten to fifteen years, operational efficiency through reduced production complexity, and the critical need for connectivity flexibility that avoids the costly requirement of physical SIM replacements.
Implementing SGP.32 eSIM technology standardizes production, allowing a single product SKU to be utilized across multiple customer requirements. This approach is complemented by selecting the right integration model, where soldered eSIMs improve ingress protection and optimize internal space in new device designs compared to the limitations of hardware-reused SIM trays.
Future-Proof Your Smart Metering Roadmap. eSIM integration is more than just a component swap; it is the foundation for agile production and a frictionless device lifecycle. By adopting SGP.32 standards, your company not only reduces manufacturing complexity today but positions itself to lead the connectivity requirements of tomorrow. Download our playbook and start designing devices that guarantee maximum operational flexibility for the next fifteen years.
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.
