Mobile World Congress

The Rakuten logo is displayed at the company's pavilion in Hall 2 during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. The group unveils its ''Intelligent Growth'' blueprint for the telecom industry. The 2026 exhibit features a major announcement of the strategic OEM agreement with Google Cloud, integrating Rakuten Cloud-Native Storage into Google Distributed Cloud to provide a pre-validated, carrier-grade stack for edge computing. Rakuten Symphony demonstrates the successful interoperability of its cloud-native platform with Samsung's 5G vRAN and vCore solutions, as well as the commercial live deployment of Nokia's cloud-native IMS functions on Rakuten's network. The stand also highlights Rakuten Mobile's achievement as the first operator to receive TM Forum's Level 4 RAN Energy Efficiency certification, utilizing AI-driven orchestration to reduce power consumption by 20%. Further displays include the roadmap for Direct-to-Device satellite services in Japan, developed in partnership with AST SpaceMobile, and the new Symphony OSS intelligence layer designed for autonomous 6G-ready operations.
