Title: Re: Broadcast Protocols
Thanks to everyone for your replies. What I’m getting is that there is currently no way to do what I want over a classroom WiFI. My question is “why not?” You all have confirmed my suspicions that it is currently not possible using what is available today.
Encryption may be desirable but is not really an absolute necessity here. Somehow, it seems like the obvious utility of such a system has fallen through the cracks and been ignored by the Internet community and manufacturers of WFI routers.
If I wanted to create something like this, how much is totally in software (firmware?), and how much is cast-in-stone in hardware? Is there still a separate chip to do WiFi, or is there enough programmatic access to the process to do something like this in software? I don’t really want to do this, but Apple, Inc. would have enough resources and clout to get something like this implemented and standardized. Think about how many more iPads it could sell, especially in the education community.
Context: We have a very sophisticated classroom presentation system that is about to go beta. We currently capture the output to a file, but would like to also wirelessly stream it real-time to everyone in a classroom (and on the Internet). School networks and WiFi typically are inadequate to handle this. I was originally in hope that a separate local classroom WiFi router could made to handle it.
