Introduction
The wired world that we all know, the one that is connected by miles and miles of cabling,
is all changing. The world of WiFi has taken over to spread media sharing love without wires
and has proven immensely popular by replacing wired video and audio connections from user
devices to connected displays.
In this guide we explain just what Wireless Media Presentation is and why you should be
paying attention to it; it does an awful lot today and provides several options for network
deployment architecture that you may wish to use in your facilities to enable visual collabora-
tion – anywhere and everywhere.
The Arrive AirPoint
TM
(AAP) Wireless Media Gateway allows users to present their content via
connected projectors and flat panel displays using ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) wireless connec
-
tions as well as the existing wireless LAN infrastructure without connecting wires or having
to download software applications on their personal devices. AAP technology is embedded in
several Arrive products which offer standalone or integrated functionality with advanced AV
wired switching side by side to Arrive AirPoint wireless media presentation capability.
The Arrive AirPoint is a tiny network video processing device with an in-built wireless access
point providing a versatile function with a Universal Wireless Media presentation capability. It
supports connections for Apple AirPlay and WiFi Miracast wireless media streaming plat-
forms out-of-the-box with HD video display resolution. This means that compatible Apple,
Windows® and Android OS device users can share their on-screen media without having to
run any application or attach wires or dongles to their personal devices (no installation or
download required).
Arrive AirPoint has been designed with simple set-up and ease of use in mind to provide a
true walk-up-and-use experience. The device functions as a receiving end-point much like a
wireless printer deployed on a network.
This document provides information on Arrive AirPoint operation, user access, security, and
deployment scenarios.
For individual product information, please refer to Quickstart Guides for Arrive devices that
have embedded Arrive AirPoint inside.
Arrive offers several options to choose the best way to connect Bring-Your-Own-devices to
large display screens in shared work spaces such as huddle rooms, meeting rooms, class-
rooms and training facilities.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could effortlessly connect your WiFi-enabled devices without messing
around with access points and lengthy passphrases? That’s what Arrive’s AirPoint enabled devices
promise.
