After reading through FCC rules part 20.18, I can't find any mention of a time requirement for providing location data to a PSAP. The sources cited in this article only deal with the accuracy requirement, and an internet search turned up a CNN article which claims to quote something from the FCC on the subject, but doesn't specify which document. Does anyone have a better citation for the claim that mobile providers must provide location data to a PSAP within six minutes of a request? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.138.117.98 ( talk) 20:15, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
This article uses a lot of acronyms, which tend to bewilder and confuse those unfamiliar with the system being described. It might be possible to convert many of these to their corresponding expansions, or a more descriptive common noun that refers to the same thing. -- Beland 01:33, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
More points of confusion...

ANI/ALI - These terms are used interchangeably but only ALI is defined - incorrectly. From a 911 point of view these are treated as one service called ANI/ALI (Automatic Number Identification/Automatic Location Identification). The article uses the terms where it's more appropriate to use the other term or both. There's a page on ALI which could be linked to, but an ANI/ALI section on this page would make sense (allowing for the Wireline section to be tidied up). -- Leonstr 12:31, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
i think this article should be tagged for being messy! --hoborg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.173.210.163 ( talk) 06:51, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
I would like to see something on the requirement that municipalities give every building a street number, which in turn required them to name previously unnamed streets in order to comply with E-911 requirements. All at once across the country during the late 1990s, shared driveways were given often-whimsical names by their residents. Historic roads were renamed to reduce confusion as well. -- Editing 17:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
i'm wondering is it very difficult to show the text of the enhanced 911 act itself. anyone who can help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Castorcnn ( talk) -- Kgfleischmann ( talk) 19:34, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
I had to put the {{worldview}} tag on because especially under the VOIP section, it's very US-centered. What about Canada and Mexico? Me-123567-Me ( talk) 23:43, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
REMOVED TAG I removed the globalize/worldview tag as the issue appears to have been handled: the intro indicates where in the world 911 is used, and addresses emergency number systems used in other parts of the world. There are also more location-specific details elsewhere in the article.
Beyond that, I'm not sure if this tag was suitably applied, as even in the version at the time of tagging, it was made clear that Enhanced 911 is specific to North America; systems with similar functions used elsewhere would be separate topics. (If I'm wrong in my interpretation of the worldview/systemic bias tag...sorry.) -- Tsavage ( talk) 12:22, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Article currently mentions " Assisted GPS ( wireless or television) allows use of GPS even indoors".
I hadn't heard of television assisted GPS, and found a bit about a company called Rosum that recently sold their patent portfolio on the technology; couldn't find anything specifically about that on WP.
The current link to "wireless" also appears to be off target.
Would it be better to just leave the one link to "Assisted GPS" and drop the qualifying parenthetical statement?-- NapoliRoma ( talk) 18:33, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
I added the diagram "9-1-1 System.svg" to this page and a link on the plain 911 page as well. Egmason ( talk) 02:26, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
The location section explains a mobile phone can be located using triangulation, GPS... But that means the location information is send from the phone ? Does it means each phone will communicate some information to the phone network provider about the position ? Is there some kind of world-standard ? Even old phones are capable of doing that ? What about the case where the SIM card is not used ?
If the information is only base on the provider's observation and not the phone, how can he do triangulation ? I thought the provider had only the information about the cell the phone is connected to.
Maybe this section should be more explicit about that. -- Martvefun ( talk) 17:20, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
Removed the tag suggesting this article be merged with 911, placed in 2011, for the following reasons:

It appears that the NG9-1-1 initiative was superseded a decade ago by Enhanced 911. The clearly outdated article NG9-1-1 is based predominantly one a single primary source that's no longer online, and ventures heavily into WP:CRYSTALBALL area. I suggest a heavy trim, and salvageable content merged into Enhanced 911. — kashmīrī TALK 18:27, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
