The Ei1000G SmartLINK Gateway
A New Year’s Revolution: Aico launches
groundbreaking SmartLINK Gateway technology
Aico, the market leader in domestic
Fire and Carbon Monoxide protection,
has launched the SmartLINK Gateway,
the Ei1000G. This is a first in asset
management and compliance, providing
full visibility and remote whole system
monitoring of Aico Fire and Carbon
Monoxide alarm systems.
Aico, an Ei Company, is leading the way
in home life safety by pioneering new
technologies and offering high quality
alarms, developed and manufactured
in Ireland. All Aico alarms meet
UK standards and offer a variety of
sensor types to guarantee protection
for every home, the cornerstone of
which is delivering quality, service and
innovation.
Stemming from their ethos of
innovation, Aico has launched the
SmartLINK Gateway to provide a
groundbreaking solution for Registered
Social Landlords (RSLs) to have access
to real time data insight into the
status of the Smoke, Heat and Carbon
Monoxide (CO) alarm systems across
their entire housing stock. Using its
built-in GSM data connection, the
Ei1000G reports events including fire/
CO activations and alarm head removals
as they happen to the SmartLINK cloud
portal, for full visibility and remote
monitoring.
The Ei1000G SmartLINK Gateway
utilises Aico’s next generation of
wireless technology to enable real-time
notifications via an online, cloud based
SmartLINK portal system.

The development of the Aico
SmartLINK Gateway has been greatly
influenced by RSLs and their teams,
through extensive feedback and
rigorous trials that have significantly
shaped the final product; Aico designed
this alarm management system to
assure tenant safety at any time. As
the pinnacle of Aico’s technology,
this pioneering product facilitates the
safety of tenants at all times and aids
with compliance across housing stock,
ensuring ease of monitoring for RSLs
and clear, actionable intelligence.
Fife Council served as a trial site for the
SmartLINK Gateway, Lead Officer Jim
Macdonald commented “In a building
that relies on residents for access, we
can monitor alarm systems remotely
to make sure everything is working
