Atlona Wireless Presentation Platform - AT-WAVE-101

Product Overview

The Atlona AT-WAVE-101 is a wireless presentation platform designed for commercial meeting spaces, classrooms, and collaboration areas that require cable-free BYOD content sharing from multiple participants simultaneously. This wireless presentation system supports up to four simultaneous 1080p screen shares using the native AirPlay, Google Cast, and Miracast protocols built into iOS, Android, Mac, Chromebook, and Windows devices — no client application required. Deployed as a standalone wireless presentation solution or added to an existing AV system as a wireless BYOD input, the WAVE-101 extends the capabilities of any room with its Dynamic Layout Mode, Instructor Mode, digital signage support, and YouTube Live streaming. AV integrators will find it compatible with Atlona Velocity Device Manager for fleet-wide configuration and monitoring across enterprise deployments.

Product Description

The AT-WAVE-101 operates on Linux with an Intel Celeron N4120 processor, 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, and 64GB eMMC storage, providing the processing headroom to handle simultaneous wireless streams, media playback, and digital signage within a compact enclosure that measures 1.32 x 2.76 x 2.76 inches. Wireless connectivity is provided by a built-in 802.11 b/g/n/ac dual-band radio plus a USB dongle antenna for extended coverage, and the unit can serve as an integrated Wi-Fi access point or connect to an existing facility network. Miracast over Infrastructure allows Windows and Android devices to cast over the building’s existing Wi-Fi or Ethernet LAN rather than requiring a direct peer-to-peer wireless link. Dynamic Layout Mode automatically adjusts the on-screen layout as presenters join or leave the session, eliminating manual layout management. Instructor Mode places incoming presenters in a queue and gives a moderator control over which participants are shown on screen, making it well-suited for training rooms and lecture halls. The WAVE-101 includes programmable display control via IP, RS-232 (with an optional USB adapter), or TCP proxy on port 9001, and supports automatic display power management through integration with the Atlona AT-OCS-900N occupancy sensor. Local media storage supports .MP4, QuickTime video, and JPEG, PNG, and GIF image playback, while YouTube Live streaming allows sessions to be broadcast to remote participants or overflow rooms. Cloud-based digital signage platforms such as DAKboard can be displayed on screen between presentations without a separate media player. Network security features include WPA2-PSK, IEEE 802.1x on the Ethernet port, AES-128 encryption, and configurable PIN codes for session access. The WAVE-101 received the Sound and Video Contractor InfoComm Best in Market 2021 Award and is manageable at scale through Atlona Velocity Device Manager.

Key Features

• App-Free Wireless Casting for Up to Four Presenters — Supports simultaneous wireless screen sharing from up to four devices using native AirPlay (iOS/Mac), Google Cast (Android/Chrome), and Miracast (Windows/Android) protocols without client software installation.
• Dynamic Layout Mode — Automatically adapts the on-screen layout when presenters connect or disconnect, optimizing content presentation without operator intervention.
• Instructor Mode — Queues incoming presenters and gives a designated moderator web-portal control over which participants display, supporting structured multi-presenter sessions in training and education environments.
• Miracast over Infrastructure — Allows Miracast-capable devices to cast over the existing facility Wi-Fi or LAN, avoiding IT complications associated with peer-to-peer wireless connections.
• Dual-Band 802.11 b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with Integrated Access Point — Built-in dual-band wireless radio with optional USB antenna module supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands; unit can operate as a standalone access point or integrate with an existing network.
• YouTube Live Streaming — Streams live session content to YouTube, enabling remote participants and overflow rooms to follow presentations without requiring additional streaming hardware.
• Cloud-Based Digital Signage Support — Displays content from cloud digital signage platforms such as DAKboard between sessions, eliminating the need for a dedicated signage player.
• Local Media Playback — Plays user-uploaded video (.MP4, QuickTime) and image files (.JPEG, .PNG, .GIF) from onboard 64GB eMMC storage for instructor-led multimedia presentations.
• Programmable Display Control — Controls connected displays via TCP/IP, RS-232 (with USB adapter), or TCP proxy on port 9001 using configurable schedules or occupancy sensor input from the AT-OCS-900N.
• Enterprise Network Security — Supports WPA2-PSK, IEEE 802.1x (Ethernet), AES-128 encryption, randomly generated session PIN codes, and a configurable built-in firewall.
• HDMI Output up to 4K — Outputs video via HDMI at resolutions up to 3840×2160 @ 60Hz, with local HDMI cable distance up to 15 feet at 4K or 30 feet at 1080p.
• Velocity Device Manager Compatible — Centrally configure, monitor, and update firmware for multiple WAVE-101 units across a facility through Atlona’s network-based AV management platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do presenters need to install an app to use the AT-WAVE-101?

No. The WAVE-101 uses the native AirPlay, Google Cast, and Miracast protocols built into iOS, Mac, Android, Chromebook, and Windows devices. No client application download or installation is required.

Q: How many presenters can share content at the same time?

Up to four presenters can share their screens simultaneously at up to 1080p resolution. Dynamic Layout Mode automatically adjusts how the four streams are arranged on screen.

Q: Can the WAVE-101 be added to an existing AV switcher system?

Yes. The WAVE-101 outputs via HDMI and can be connected as an input to any HDMI-equipped switcher or matrix switcher, adding wireless BYOD capability to new or existing AV systems.

Q: Does the WAVE-101 require a dedicated Wi-Fi access point or network?

No. The WAVE-101 includes a built-in dual-band 802.11 b/g/n/ac radio and can operate as its own Wi-Fi access point. It can also be networked into an existing facility Wi-Fi infrastructure, and supports Miracast over Infrastructure for casting over the LAN without a direct wireless link.

Q: What display control options does the WAVE-101 support?
