We had a departmental IT person who insisted on trying SIX simultaneous Miracast connected TV's in the same classroom.
According to our spectrum analyzer, Two Miracast devices chew-up 80% - 90% of the available duty-cycle (they do this whether the display is static (Power Point Slide) or active (You-Tube stream)). When we got to four Miracast connections we began to have picture quality issues, and bandwidth available for others in the area was near zero. We talked him into using just one, and we recommended to campus that users avoid it, but there's not much we can do to stop it. -Neil -- Neil Johnson Network Engineer The University of Iowa Phone: 319 384-0938 Fax: 319 335-2951 Mobile: 319 540-2081 E-Mail: neil-john...@uiowa.edu On 5/28/13 6:54 AM, "Joshua Coleman" <josh...@housing.ufl.edu> wrote: >From my testing with a Nexus 4 and Netgear PTV-3000 using wireless and >miracast (while it may do horrible things to the sprectrum and destroy >batteries) it works fine. > > > >Joshua Coleman | Network Infrastructure Engineer > >University of Florida Department of Housing and Residence Education > >PO Box 112100 | Gainesville, FL 32611-2100 > >office 352.392.2171 x12053 | fax 352.392.6819 | josh...@housing.ufl.edu > >StrengthsQuest Top 5: Ideation, Strategic, Analytical, Adaptability, >Intellection - Find out more - >http://www.strengthsquest.com/content/141728/index.aspx > >Please consider the environment before printing this email. > >________________________________________ >From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv >[WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] on behalf of Jeff Kell >[jeff-k...@utc.edu] >Sent: Friday, May 24, 2013 11:38 PM >To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU >Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wow vision veos: Will products using Miracast >be an alternative? > >On 5/24/2013 10:45 PM, Barron Hulver wrote: >> Will products using Miracast take hold and be an alternative? >> >> http://www.wi-fi.org/wi-fi-certified-miracast%E2%84%A2 > >In their FAQ... > >> 7.
