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 Israel launched attacks that appeared to be 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 eleven people and injuring over 2,750. 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 named BAC using their name under license.
