The FIA is proud to publish our latest report on the Internet of Things (IoT). The report looked at who is working on IoT, how they are working on it, what they believe IoT to mean and why they are working with it and what barriers they are facing. Off the back of this report, we will be launching a Special Interest Group to continue this much-needed discussion.

We are attempting to start a shared, productive and necessary dialogue around IoT in the fire industry. Our FIA IoT report highlighted how IoT can and will impact us all – with estimates that 87% of businesses might be working with IoT in the future. In spite of COVID-19 or Brexit the FIA – and the UK as a whole- are well placed to be the leading voice on IoT in the fire industry.
