Subscription Tiers: CCi-MOBILE Membership Tiers/Subscription Plans
To receive a CCi-MOBILE at your institution or company,
a material transfer agreement (MTA) from the University of Texas at Dallas will be setup
according to the following subscriptions/membership options. There are two main types of
memberships: owner and rental. The Platinum and Platinum Plus plans include full ownership
of the CCi-MOBILE Research Platform, while the Gold and Silver memberships involve
renting the device for distinct periods of time, i.e., no ownership. These membership plans
were developed to facilitate sustainability of the research platform. There is a cost for
each membership plan due to the University of Texas at Dallas purchasing materials to support
the hardware components of the research platform. The funds that we are recouping from
this are simply to provide infrastructure to sustain both the hardware and the support for
the platform. Our goal is not to make money from this, but to support to the research community
and to try and help advance research technologies for cochlear implant users as well as hearing
aid communities. We hope that CCi-MOBILE will be able to provide you with a viable research
support system that will advance your research. For more information about each of the tiers,
or if there is not a tier that best describes your desired ownership/rental options, please
feel free to reach out to the UT-Dallas CRSS CILab director, Dr. John Hansen to provide a custom
solution catered to your institution/company.
