The Gold Edition is a general use NPA-NXX data product providing complete coverage of the entire North American Numbering Plan including the United States, Canada, and most of the Caribbean.

Geographic latitude and longitude with place names are included to identify and locate the basic exchange area served by the NPA NXX. These coordinates can be used for general positioning and distance calculations between exchanges but do not provide the same geographic positional accuracy as the more exact wire and rate center V&H coordinates.
Produced: on or before 5th calendar day monthly
Current Release: December 3, 2024
Distribution Frequency: monthly or quarterly (issue date: January, April, July, October)
