WiDi/Miracast is nice because it does not use your enterprise wireless, it is ad-hoc/peer-to-peer. Only downside is that it could potentially use some of the same wireless channels as your enterprise network.
We have one in our conference room and I use it all the time from my HTC One and Windows 8 ultrabook.

My guess is it bypasses network infrastructure, making it yet another interfering device in 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Can't find anything on how it actually works in a cursory search though. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
