Interview by Kaleido Intelligence with Pierre Lassus, SVP, Software & Services and Mobile Sales at Valid, about the future of IoT connectivity and the impact of SGP.32.
The discussion addresses key questions such as what organizations should understand when approaching SGP.32 beyond its technical definition, and how it represents a shift toward a new operating model for IoT connectivity. It also explores how the industry can achieve a truly seamless experience despite increased flexibility, and whether concepts like “single pane of glass” introduce complexity or instead create new opportunities for orchestration and simplification.
Finally, the interview reflects on what conditions are still required for large-scale adoption of SGP.32, including ecosystem readiness, interoperability, operational transformation, and business model alignment across stakeholders.
SGP.32 goes beyond technical evolution and introduces a new operating model for connectivity lifecycle management, interoperability, and orchestration across the IoT ecosystem.
“SGP.32 is not only a technology specification — it’s a shift into the operating model for IoT connectivity.” – Pierre Lassus
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.
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.
