Uber helps connect the physical and digital worlds to move people and things at the tap of a button in 10,000+ cities worldwide has adopted Valid’s mioSIM eSIM (embedded-SIM) to deploy their UberSIM technology solution.

Valid’s mioSIM eSIM is integrated with ConnectedYou’s connectivity orchestration platform that also includes Valid’s Remote SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) provisioning software enabling multi-carrier connectivity management globally for Uber across all mobile operators in the UberSIM ecosystem. The UberSIM solution enables Uber’s various IoT use cases to stay connected to the service while Uber’s ecosystem benefits from the flexibility created by this architecture for availing costs and quality.

Compliant with GSMA specifications, Valid’s eSIM technology empowers our customers with an interoperable solution to simplify their supply chain for connectivity access and, regardless of device location, remotely manage or change connectivity subscriptions directly from a fast and high secure service.

Uber’s goal with the UberSIM product has been to create connected experience and quality of service by delivering connectivity for all of Uber’s IoT deployments worldwide. Through this solution, Uber is able to handle a single global UberSIM SKU (stock keeping unit) which simplifies their operations across the 70+ countries.

“With access to millions of connected devices, we needed a one-stop-shop business model to deal with remote updates and streamline connectivity of the devices around the world in a simple way. Valid’s solution gave us a way to simplify our operations and provide security to our connected devices while doing so.” says Rahul Vijay, at Uber.

“Our expertise in providing eSIM interoperable solutions gave us enough background to be able to set-up, test and provide the service in record-time, while accommodating Uber specific requirements. Working with giants like Uber and with agile connectivity services providers like ConnectedYou perfectly illustrates Valid’s eSIM customer centric strategy which aims to support our customers to provide an improved digital journey during the eSIM implementation, building a bridge between the connectivity providers and the OEMs. ” says Salvador Cabrera, COO of Valid Mobile at Valid.
