It all started at the foot of the Himalayas. In 2004, during an expedition to Everest Base Camp in Nepal, our president Jean-Philippe Grondin experienced a life-changing event. This journey was not just a physical challenge but also a meaningful lesson in leadership, mutual support, and resilience. He uncovered a simple yet powerful truth: every successful ascent begins with a strong base camp.
The BCC origin
A story of summits, teamwork and vision
The ‘Base Camp’ part comes from my own experiences at Everest Base Camp, where every successful summit begins with a well-equipped base camp. That's where my passion for mountaineering was born. It symbolises our starting point for every communication solution we develop. The ‘Connect’ part represents our mission: to provide communications to protect human lives. Just as mountaineers rely on each other and their equipment to reach the highest peaks in the world, we are here to connect you to the tools essential to the success of your missions.

A vision inspired by the world's highest peaks
This was not Jean-Philippe's first expedition. From Ecuador to Nepal, via France, Switzerland, Italy, Canada and the United States, he has explored several iconic peaks, each with its own powerful symbolism.
Kala Patthar, Nepal – 5,643 metres
A spectacular view of Everest, symbol of perseverance and preparation. It is here that one feels the full power of the Himalayas.
Chimborazo, Ecuador – 6,263 metres
Le sommet le plus proche de l’espace en raison du renflement équatorial de la Terre. Une métaphore parfaite pour viser toujours plus haut.
Cotopaxi, Ecuador – 5,897 metres
A majestic active volcano, representing inner strength and resilience.
Iliniza Sur, Ecuador – 5,263 metres
A technical and demanding summit, symbolising the spirit of pushing oneself beyond one's limits.
Rosablanche, Switzerland – 3,336 metres
An elegant Alpine peak, accessible via glacial routes, embodying the beauty and rigour of the Swiss Alps.
Pigne d'Arolla, Switzerland – 3,796 metres
An iconic summit in Valais, often climbed as part of the Haute Route, representing continuity and endurance.
Vallée Blanche (France, Mont Blanc massif)
A legendary glacier descent between the Aiguille du Midi and the Mer de Glace, in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif. A route that combines technical skill, beauty and commitment.
Valpeline Pass, Italy - 3,553 metres
The Valpelline Pass, at an altitude of 3,553 metres, connects Italy to Switzerland in the heart of the Alps.

Summit meetings in our offices
Jean-Philippe’s adventures in the high mountains inspired a distinctive feature in our Lévis offices: each conference room is named after an iconic mountain peak.
Whether it’s Everest, Kilimanjaro or Mont Blanc, these names evoke powerful places that convey meaning and the spirit of achievement. They remind us that success, both in the mountains and in business, rests on three essential pillars: preparation, collaboration and communication. These meeting spaces thus become places for reflection and elevation, just like the peaks that inspire them.
