Gold Apollo AR924 is a compact one-way pager produced by Gold Apollo, a Taiwanese company based in New Taipei City.
This PC programmable and hand programmable pager is equipped with 4 buttons with two-way scrolling, a 4 lines LCD screen, and a removable lithium battery, rechargeable via a USB-C connector, and lasting up to 85 days with 2.5 hours of charging. AR924 allows the user to store up to 30 messages with a maximum length of 100 characters; its data transfer rate is 512/1200/2400 bps for POCSAG.
AR924 hit headlines after a series of explosions appearing to be a co-ordinated attack against Lebanese political party and paramilitary group Hezbollah. During the attacks, 5,000 pagers exploded almost simultaneously in Lebanon and parts of Syria, around 3:30 pm local time, killing 11 people and injuring over 4,000. Gold Apollo founder Hsu Ching-Kuang told reporters that the company did not manufacture the pagers involved in the explosions, with them instead being made by a European company using their name under license.
