Valid's Take on Multiple Enabled Profiles

In the fast-paced world of mobile technology, the eSIM market is booming. Projections from Counterpoint Research suggest a global presence of 850 million eSIM smartphone connections by 2025 and a whopping 6.7 billion by 2030. As this market expands, the demand for inventive solutions grows, especially among device makers. One groundbreaking technology at the forefront of the eSIM revolution is the use of Multiple Enabled Profiles (MEP) applications.

Unleashing the Power of MEP

Multiple Enabled Profiles (MEP), a game-changing functionality, empowers users to seamlessly utilize more than one eSIM profile simultaneously. Recently added as an optional feature in the latest Consumer architecture specification (SGP22 v3), MEP application offers several benefits, addressing the needs of device makers (OEMs) and significantly enhancing the end-user experience.

Harmonizing with Market Strategies

The incorporation of dual connectivity features into mobile devices is not a new concept, especially in emerging market strategies. From the past few years, Device Makers have been providing consumers with the flexibility of having two SIM slots in their low-end mobile phones. With the growth of eSIM adoption, industry leaders like Google, Apple, and Samsung have started to integrate the Multiple Enabled Profiles Application into their high-end smartphones worldwide. This transition is turning a low-end trend into a high-end smartphones trend, creating the “Dual eSIM devices effect.”

This shift is not just limited to emerging markets; it’s becoming a common feature in devices worldwide

MEP's Significance and Advantages for eSIM Projects:

Preserving Dual SIM Capability for Device Makers: MEP opens avenues for OEMs to introduce eSIM-only devices without sacrificing dual SIM capability. This innovation provides enhanced flexibility, catering to diverse market preferences.
Reducing Bill of Materials (BOM): Facilitating the activation of multiple eSIM profiles using a single chipset, MEP reduces the BOM for device makers, leading to cost efficiencies and streamlined manufacturing processes.
Enhancing User Experience: End-users benefit from the ability to enable multiple eSIM profiles simultaneously, especially beneficial during international travel. MEP allows seamless switching between network profiles without physical SIM swaps, providing unparalleled convenience.

Valid's Solutions: Paving the Way for the Future

As an industry frontrunner, Valid has included the MEP feature into its latest eSIM Operating System version, aligning with GSMA standards. This ensures a seamless and efficient eSIM experience, addressing the evolving needs of device makers and end-users alike.

The trajectory of the eSIM market is undoubtedly transformative, with MEP emerging as a pivotal force in this evolution. Counterpoint Research statistics highlight the immense potential of the eSIM market, positioning the MEP application as a catalyst for even greater growth. Valid’s integration of the MEP application into its Operating System heralds a new era in eSIM technology, offering unparalleled flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced user experiences. The future of eSIM is now, and MEP stands at the forefront, unlocking possibilities and reshaping the landscape of mobile connectivity.

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.
