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.

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.
