I am confused. Did you use Airtame or Apple TV?

I rolled this out at my old school. Over 150.  It worked well.

The advancements that Apple made have made a difference.  Aruba/Clearpass etc, 
MDNS  -rock solid.

The only caveat is that, like most Apple Products, are intended for consumers.  
There isnt a great product (I know one exists) that really manages a deployment 
of Apple Tv’s that well.

Updating them was a challenge.  Aside from that, a flatscreen and ~$150 you are 
in business!

Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Use of Airtame on school environment

I attended a peer presentation a few weeks ago where a school had switched to 
that and found it significantly better than everything else they had tested. 
They had the devices wired where possible, and placed in specific subnets 
reachable from the clients but also with a predictable IP pattern which 
displayed on screen. They then documented "look for the address starting with 
10.x. on the screen" for people wanting to connect. The clients could remember 
the device name once connected to allow easy reconnect. The presenter actually 
demoed it live on the conference guest wifi (did his presentation via it) and 
then allowed people in the room to try it out. It's definitely on my shortlist 
for trying in our environment.

Dear all,

we are exploring replacing our 130+ apple tvs with Airtame 
(www.airtame.com<http://www.airtame.com>). Has anyone tested this so far? Seems 
to be very straight forward bu we are concerned about its performance within a 
segmented network environment. We are an Aruba shop, with Airgroup.

Appreciate any comments.
