The iconic IBM 8-bar logo is displayed on a high-resolution OLED digital pillar at the entrance of the IBM pavilion in Hall 2 during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. IBM showcases its hybrid cloud and governance capabilities with the watsonx.ai and watsonx.governance platforms, designed for telecommunications service providers. The exhibit features the IBM Granite 3.0 family of large language models running on IBM Power10 servers and integrated with Red Hat OpenShift, aimed at automating network operations and enhancing customer experience with sovereign AI. Key displays include a partnership with Samsung to use the Galaxy S26 Ultra, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, as a secure terminal for IBM's Maximo Visual Inspection. The device's 200-megapixel camera and on-device AI are utilized to detect infrastructure anomalies in real-time. The branding emphasizes IBM's focus on ''Responsible AI'' through transparent data lineage and automated compliance tools for the 5G-Advanced era. (Photo by Joan Cros/NurPhoto)
