As 2022 marks the 25th anniversary of the Rakuten Group, RNN set out to hear about the positive changes it has brought to a nationwide community of users. In this video, we begin by featuring a couple of senior citizens who are farmers in Shimane Prefecture. They showed us how signing up for Rakuten Mobile and getting their first smartphones has helped make their daily lives more convenient and fun. They use their smartphones to monitor the temperature of their greenhouses and the movement of the rain clouds, and learn more about how to operate tractors by watching videos online. We also introduce the comings and goings at a regional Rakuten Mobile store and finish off with a selection of interviews with people on the street in Shimane.

Rakuten Symphony hit MWC Barcelona 2022 with a bang, including its second major acquisition in six months and open radio access network (RAN) deals with AT&T, Cisco, Nokia, and Qualcomm.

The standalone company recently formed by the Japanese e-commerce giant to push its open RAN architecture into more networks around the world kicked the week off with an agreement to acquire Robin.io. The San Jose-based software company offers cloud-native Kubernetes orchestration and automation, including storage, lifecycle management, and other services. It also played a role in Rakuten Mobile’s fully virtualized open RAN in Japan.

Robin.io’s technology will join other services and applications in Symworld, the recently rebranded Rakuten Communications Platform, including the recently acquired Altiostar and Rakuten’s various open RAN technology assets. It’s a collection of the same tools and functions Rakuten used to build and operate its network in Japan that it’s now selling as a service to other operators.
