We have a growing number of faculty that would like to use wireless
projection systems, where a tablet or laptop PC directly talks top a
projector on private network and client software. 
 
Often, these are very ad hoc- the individual has their own projector and
wants to buy some device like this (just one example)
http://www.lindy.co.uk/80211g-wireless-vga-projector-server/32499.html
to pop into service wherever they happen to be. Among the concerns that
these things bring is that they tend to have fixed power that is far too
strong for the area they serve, and in a dense wireless microcell
environment they can be disruptive.
 
We have cobbed together some solutions where we provide an IOS-based AP
at low power as the "wireless gateway" (grandiose term) in some of these
scenarios, but am wondering if anyone has found an off-the shelf
presentation system that has variable power on the wireless side and is
a more "enterprise" fit?
