How different is the GC864 from say UC864?  Supporting the GC864 might 
be as simple as tweaking some parameters inside the relevant modem 
detection plugin.

You will probably need to look into modem offerings from Cinterion, 
Option, Telit, Sierra and SimCom.  All have some sort of support inside 
oFono to varying degrees, but likely you will still need to do some 
integration work.

There may be others who can give a more concrete recommendation.
