GCI

Alaska Communications and GCI, while operating independently, represent the primary mobile network providers within the unique landscape of Alaska, United States (North America & Caribbean). Assigned the Mobile Country Code (MCC) 310, which designates cellular networks within the USA, GCI utilizes Mobile Network Code (MNC) 190 to specifically identify its network. Providing essential connectivity across a vast and often remote territory, these networks face distinct challenges compared to their counterparts in the contiguous United States. Unlike nationwide carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile, Alaska Communications and GCI have focused on building networks tailored to the Alaskan geography. This involves deploying infrastructure across challenging terrains and often partnering with local communities to ensure coverage in areas with sparse populations. While GCI utilises MNC 190 to differentiate itself within the 310 MCC framework, ongoing advancements focus on bringing 5G and enhanced broadband services to even the most isolated areas of the state, bridging the digital divide to a certain extent.
