Research Centre

Kaleido Intelligence’s Roaming Vendor Hub presents the most detailed competitive intelligence available on mobile roaming, providing a full understanding of the market for all roaming vendors, enablers and wholesale service providers.

The Roaming Vendor Hub: Travel eSIM MVNE 2025-2026 report, based on extensive primary and secondary research, enables leading travel eSIM enablers to be compared equally and on their own merits.

Kaleido’s approach to competitive analysis will finally enable all roaming vendors to showcase their strengths on an equal playing field. This will enable MNOs, as well as MVNOs, to choose a provider or vendor based on their product/service offering strengths rather than existing popularity.

Our approach focuses on categorising vendors, examining their strengths and weaknesses, identifying the company’s unique market position, problem-solving capabilities, innovation leadership and, finally, how the vendor is positioned to meet MNO/MVNO needs and requirements.
