    3 The Wireless Open-Access Research Platform (WARP) Project was founded in 2006 by Prof. Ashu Sabharwal at Rice University. The project was originally funded by the [http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0551692 National Science Foundation]. The WARP Project has since grown into a self-sustaining open-source effort with users around the world.
     4The Wireless Open-Access Research Platform (WARP) is a scalable and extensible programmable wireless platform, built from the ground up to prototype advanced wireless networks. WARP combines high-performance programmable hardware with an open-source repository of reference designs and support materials.

     8[http://mangocomm.com Mango Communications] spun off from the Rice WARP Project in 2008 with the initial goal of manufacturing and distributing the Rice WARP hardware. In 2012 Mango released the entirely re-designed [http://mangocomm.com/products/kits/warp-v3-kit WARP v3] hardware. Today Mango engineers are the most active contributors to the WARP repository and forums, providing ongoing development and support for the WARP community.

     18== Education Impact ==
     19Many students learning digital communication never get to see a real wireless link in a lab. Many courses only address the theory of baseband processing or higher layer protocol design. WARP has proven an  excellent means to fill this gap for undergraduate and graduate education labs. The open-source [wiki:WARPLab WARPLab] and [wiki:OFDMReferenceDesign OFDM/CSMA] Reference Designs are ideal starting points for introducing students to real-world physical layer processing and protocol development.
