windows-7

I’m trying to find a device that would allow a windows 7 client to wirelessly connect and display their screen to a projector while still connected to the wireless network. The idea is to allow a professor to still project and display content while walking around the room with their tablet. To date, haven’t been able to find a solution that meets the requirements, has anyone stumbled across one yet?

Requirements

Must support Windows 7
Must be able to connect to WPA2 Personal(and hopefully enterprise)
Must not use any usb dongles – those get lost/damaged given a chance.

Goal

Wirelessly display screen to projector without cables from tablet/laptop.
