Our wireless is split up into multiple subnets and our Advanced Technology stuff such as the ShareLink is on a separate subnet than anything else. It does not do a discovery like airplay. It uses a app on your iDevice or Android device to connect to a web link that is displayed on the screen. We have a number of them on campus and the faculty use them regularly. Less moving parts and problems than other systems that try to hack airplay. I can put you in touch with our guru of classroom tech if you want to discuss more or see it in action.

We use a different subnet for wireless and have found that many of these types of devices don't like the way our network is configured. The broadcast from the device to help a wireless device find what to connect to never crosses over to the wireless side or if it does the communications between the mobile device is unreliable.

ShareLink(tm) technology supports simultaneous display of slides, documents, graphs, and photos from up to four devices without needing a cable. It is compatible with Windows(r) and OS X(r) computers as well as Apple(r) and Android(r) smartphones and tablets. It also includes a moderator mode to ensure only approved content is displayed. In spaces with sight line concerns, slides can be viewed on a personal device via a Web browser. The professional capabilities of the ShareLink 200 wireless and network models provide easy integration of mobile devices into meeting and huddle rooms, interactive collaborative spaces, and larger presentation environments.

Obviously we run into the roadblocks of those devices not fitting into our network well, or working with certain OS's, not to mention security implications. We'd like to try and standardize on a technology so we can manage it (ha!). I'm just wondering if anyone has solved this one yet? We've looked briefly at AirParrot but wondering if anyone else has had any luck in this area. Any info/advice is appreciated.
