Pardon me for cross posting, but I think there are some people on here that would be interested in this. A large group of people at EduCause are pulling together an ad-hoc petition to Apple to support enterprise solutions for AirPlay (the feature that allows wireless mirroring between iOS devices and apple TV's) and just Bonjour in general. While they are aware of services provided by Aerohive and Aruba, the general consensus is that Apple should either provide some compatibility themselves or open up communications with 3rd party vendors to develop these solutions in advance of product release. Some of the requests on the petition include:
* That Apple establish a way for the Apple TV (and other Airplay enabled devices) to be easily accessible across multiple IPv4 and IPv6 subnets.
* That Apple establish a way for the Apple TV (and other Airplay enabled devices) to be easily statically configured to be accessible across multiple IPv4 and IPv6 subnets.
* That the Apple TV support Enterprise Wireless Encryption and Authentication (WPA2-Enterprise)
* That authentication to the Apple TV be able to utilize enterprise authentication services (LDAP and/or AD)
The development of the petition is on a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/enterpriseairplay/
