In any meeting or classroom,
being able to project information
onto a large display or projector
is a critical activity.
If you think about it, collaborating
or making decisions without

ideas or knowledge is nearly
impossible.

11. Why Are Wireless Display Standards Important?
ScreenBeam | Wireless Display 101 | 2018 Actiontec. All rights reserved. | Confidential11
It is only through the use of global standards that basic IT requirements of
interconnectivity and interoperability can be met, and avoid:
incompatibility issues across
a broad range of user
hardware and displays
requiring special
hardware
for transmission
No Standards:
Expensive Problems
using proprietary radios that
may reduce the organization’s
Wi-Fi performance
STANDARDS
12. What is Miracast?
ScreenBeam | Wireless Display 101 | 2018 Actiontec. All rights reserved. | Confidential12
Miracast is a technology standard – not a device – that enables
wireless display connectivity. The standard has been ratified by the
Wi-Fi Alliance and is native in millions of modern devices worldwide.
13. Why Miracast
ScreenBeam | Wireless Display 101 | 2018 Actiontec. All rights reserved. | Confidential13
It has broad support
across global OEM’s
and vendors. It’s not
tied to any specific
hardware.
It supports Windows 10,
8.1 and Android (4.2 and
later) devices, and older
Windows devices can use
an adapter to use
Miracast.
Built into modern
Windows devices
means compatibility
across a broad range of
devices. Users are not
forced to install and run
applications.
Miracast will allow
users to both
duplicate or extend
screen. When in
extend mode, user
device is still
available.
14. And Even More Benefits…

Miracast sets up a
direct connection
between a device and
the Miracast Receiver
(peer-to-peer) to
wirelessly mirror
everything from one
screen to another;
creating its own in-room
Wi-Fi network.
Miracast does not rely on
an existing network, and
doesn’t need a wireless
access point. This is a
huge advantage for
commercial and education
environments because it
allows heavy video traffic
to be moved off the
network.
Peer-to-peer connection
provides superb user
experience with nearly
zero latency.
Miracast will allow
DRM protected
digital content
because it’s
security features
allow for it.
