Solution to wirelessly project tablet desktop?

Question

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.

Would something like the LiteShow product from inFocus do the trick?

If your projector handles the protocol Windows seven has a built in Connect to Network Projector feature built in to its core system.

We opted to go with: http://www.teqavit.com/WiD410.html to solve our needs. It actually does full motion video good enough!

Attach a computer to the projector. Set up vnc on the computer and the laptop.

Set up a VNC connection from the computer to the laptop. This should allow what's happening on the laptop to be displayed on the projector.

Any Windows PC running Remote Desktop could handle this. Hook that PC directly up to the projector, and then have the professor open an RDP session to it, from his/her tablet PC. A wireless connection has enough bandwidth and low enough latency to make RDP seem as responsive as a local session.
