+== About the Project ==
+Rice University's WARP is a scalable and extensible programmable wireless platform, built from the ground up, to prototype advanced wireless networks. The [wiki:repositoryAccess open-access WARP repository] allows exchange and sharing of new physical and network layer architectures, building a true community platform. Xilinx FPGAs are used to allow programmability of both physical and network layer protocols on a single platform, which is both deployable and observable at all layers.
 
-See videos of WARP in action at ([http://www.vimeo.com/warp/videos Vimeo])
+Hardware is available for purchase ([http://warp.rice.edu/getting_hardware.php see details]).
