Each of these ports handles a wing of a school making the network extremely easy to manage and as efficient as possible. The network currently supports about 900 clients. The network appears to users as a large flat LAN which makes it easy to access the many resources available. Each school has their own file server and can access CD-ROM towers throughout the district. StingNet also features a T-1 line to the Internet.
Users can access Internet and Intranet mail from any classroom or office in the school district.
Also available on the network are library catalogs and the district's mid-range computer system used for student and financial data. Texas City ISD was one of the first districts in Texas to implement this type of network which has been operational since May of 1997.
