Ealing Council and FireAngel announce pioneering IoT partnership
O
ne of Europe’s leading smoke, heat and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm suppliers, FireAngel, has agreed a partnership
with Ealing Council in conjunction with CEF to deliver one of the largest IoT roll outs of its kind currently available in the UK. The ground-breaking contract will see the
supply of FireAngel’s advanced connected technology, FireAngel Spec Connected, which will cost effectively provide Ealing Council with a remote monitoring solution that ensures maximum levels of fire and CO detection for its tenants. Ealing Council will oversee the supply and
installation of over 122,000 smoke, heat and CO alarms across an initial 14,000 of 17,000 properties located throughout West London, whilst also benefitting from FireAngel’s patented Predict™ technology, which will highlight trends and high-risk patterns of behaviour to prompt earlier intervention before an actual fire event. The new agreement will revolutionise the way
in which Ealing Council monitors and manages its entire housing stock, eliminating the require- ment for gaining physical access to a property, as all of the required device data is transmitted wirelessly in real time via a secure cloud network. FireAngel and Ealing Council have together developed a bespoke recyclable cardboard ‘kit
pack’ that contains no plastic waste, significantly reducing the amount of packaging materials the installer needs to dispose of during the installation process. The packs contain FireAngel’s battery-powered Specification Range of smoke, heat and CO alarms, which will be installed across Ealing Council’s housing stock in line with an LD1 Category specification. As the alarms are wirelessly interlinked across
a secure private network, the technology will allow Ealing Council to easily monitor and manage the status of the alarms in real time, highlighting any potential issues as and when they occur. FireAngel’s Predict™ technology will also enable Ealing Council to remotely understand the trends and levels of risk each property presents and as tenant needs change. Ealing Council and FireAngel have also
streamlined the installation process through the development of an innovative commissioning system, which includes photographic records, auditing facilities and the automatic production of certifications. James King, Director of Connected Homes at
FireAngel, said: “We are extremely proud to be supporting Ealing Council in one of the biggest IoT roll outs of its type currently available in the UK. Over the last seven years, FireAngel has spent in excess of £8 million on its IoT strategy

to deliver connected fire safety technologies that revolutionise asset management for housing providers. “We are looking forward to working closely
with Ealing Council throughout the installation and implementation stages to provide its tenants with enhanced quality of service and support with regard to fire safety.” FireAngel’s Specification Range enables
continuous monitoring of fire and CO safety devices within domestic properties via a central, secure cloud based system. Featuring Smart RF technology, the range of mains and battery- powered alarms supports the interlink of up to 50 devices together on a wireless network by fitting a Smart RF module. The devices include smoke, heat, CO alarms
and assisted living solutions, which can be interlinked via a private network so that when one alarm sounds, they all sound. This also immedi- ately notifies tenants of a potential fire or CO event, providing a faster response time that allows individuals to safely and quickly exit the property.
