Intel Wireless Display Technology

Seems like some new tech to wirelessly stream the output of a laptop to an HDTV. Requires a $100 dongle on the HDTV though, which is the cost of a wireless streaming media player already, so it's not cheap.

I'm having trouble accessing Intel's own page for that info, but I'm curious how it works. Does it use normal WiFi, and just encodes the data like a remote-desktop app (does WiFi have enough bandwidth?), or is it just another noisy protocol using the 2.4 ghz band?
 
It is supposed to use your existing wireless network to stream dvd-quality video from your (or someone else's) laptop to a tv that supports the technology or the dongle. It is basically another wireless network application that would reduce cable clutter from the laptop to the HDTV.

It probably has some useful application to social events like parties and whatnot (just a guess).

Intel(R) Wireless Display requires a specifically configured Intel(R) Core i3/i5/i7 laptop that include Intel HD Graphics, Intel Centrino WiFi modules that include Intel My WiFi Technology (software based AP) and Windows 7 64-bit OS.

You are right we utilize the My WiFi technology created wireless network to stream the desktop to the Netgear Push2TV adapter. Anything on your desktop, except DVD and BR-D, can be sent to your HDTV for better viewing. Yes, parties are a great way to use Intel Wireless Display but also if you just want to get some Hulu or Netflix content onto your HDTV then Intel Wireless Display is perfect.
