Uber has adopted Brazilian company Valid’s MioSIM eSIM to deploy its UberSIM technology.

MioSIM eSIM has been integrated with Danish company ConnectedYou’s connectivity orchestration platform that also includes Valid’s remote SIM provisioning software enabling multi-carrier connectivity management globally for Uber across all mobile operators in the UberSIM ecosystem.

UberSIM enables Uber’s various IoT use cases to stay seamlessly connected to the service while Uber’s ecosystem benefits from the flexibility created by this architecture for availing best costs and quality.

Compliant with the latest GSMA specifications,Valid’s eSIM technology empowers users with an interoperable and efficient way to simplify their supply chain for connectivity access and, regardless of device location, remotely manage or change connectivity subscriptions directly from a fast and highly secure service.

Uber’s goal with UberSIM has been to create unmatched connected experience and quality of service by delivering seamless connectivity for all of Uber’s IoT deployments worldwide. Through this, Uber can handle a single global UberSIM SKU which simplifies its operations across more than 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,” said Rahul Vijay from Uber. “Valid gave us a way to simplify our operations and provide security to our connected devices while doing so.”

Salvador Cabrera, COO of Valid Mobile, added: “Our expertise in providing eSIM interoperability 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.”
