How does everyone plan on dealing with Wi-Fi Direct from both a policy and a
technology perspective? From an RF management point of view, I can't imagine a
situation where it would be possible to individually manage all devices,
printers, projectors, etc that can create Wi-Fi direct networks. And while an
official policy might be able to steer frequency usage, it would be pretty
tough to enforce without an existing sensor/countermeasures infrastructure in
place (of which I would also assume 802.11w will eventually make useless
anyway).
Yet, part of me wants to recommend it as the "official solution" for
screencasting (ie Miracast ) rather than fight a losing fight with AirPlay and
mDNS over wireless.
My sense is that all TVs, projectors, printers, and BYOD type devices will
eventually support it and managing the impacts it will be inevitable. I'd be
interested in what each of you are planning and whether or not anyone has done
any testing in a production environment.
