Chapter 1 - Introduction
The advantages of the WiJET become obvious in any conference room where the ideal
location of the projector or display screen makes it difficult for a laptop or desktop to
connect to it while allowing the speaker to maintain audience interest. All too frequently,
projectors placed in the middle of the room force the speaker to present from the middle
of the room, because of the VGA cable that exists between the projector and the
presenter’s laptop.
The WiJET solves this problem by allowing any laptop or desktop with an 802.11b WiFi
adaptor to give the presentation from anywhere in the conference room that the presenter
desires. Wherever the presenter feels would garner the most amount of interest from the
audience. Truly freedom from wires allows for more flexibility in meetings.
Another application of the WiJET is in a situation where multiple presenters must give
presentations in rapid succession. The WiJET allows for fast handover of the projector or
monitor without the hassle of removing and reattaching the VGA cable. Using the easy-
to-use Presentation Session Manager, the presenters can effortlessly connect to the
WiJET, give a presentation, and disconnect from the WiJET to allow another user to
connect to it without touching a single cable. Contrast this to physically disconnecting
and reconnecting the VGA cable as well as configuring the laptop to output to the
laptop’s VGA connector and it is easy to see how the WiJET can make multiple people
giving presentations effortless.
A third application that showcases the advantages of the WiJET is where there are
multiple conference rooms with multiple projectors. A WiJET in every conference room
will substantially save setup time when the presenter comes into the room. The presenter
only simply selects the WiJET number displayed on the projector/monitor screen and he
is instantly connected to the projector and able to start his presentation. This removes a
lot of setup time associated with presenters moving from room to room to give their
presentations, ultimately saving IT costs.
In summary, the WiJET is a tool that will change how people come to view conferences
and meeting rooms. Instead of a static meeting place, the conference rooms can now
become a dynamic meeting place where new thoughts and ideas are exchanged and
created.
The WiJET is an 802.11b
®
compliant product designed specifically for wirelessly
connecting projectors and monitors to computers. It connects to the existing VGA
connector of the projector/monitor and offers 802.11b
®
connectivity up to 11Mbps.
