About GCC
Global Communication Center (GCC), the R&D wing of Grameen Communications, aims to produce and promote ICT to provide social services to and generate income for unreached communities. The major target of the research activities is to identify technical requirements and develop affordable services along with business models that can be easily replicated and self-sustaining.
GCC has been launched in 2007 as a joint project based on the agreement between Grameen Communications, Bangladesh and Kyushu University, Japan to carry out collaborative research towards the goal of building a Social Information Infrastructure (SII) model for developing countries.
GCC is currently working to develop villager-friendly BoP Adaptation Layer in order to provide them access to the Social Services. This layer would be compatible with the less intelligent devices so that villagers can afford and operate those effortlessly.
