Gold Apollo AR924 is a pager produced by Gold Apollo, a Taiwanese company based in New Taipei City.
AR924 hit the headlines because it was used in an attack conducted on Lebanese Shia Islamist political party and paramilitary group Hezbollah. During the attack, 5,000 pagers exploded almost simultaneously across Lebanon and parts of Syria, killing a dozen people and wounding at least 3,000.
