Paging Solutions

Deliver instantaneous, mission-critical alerts with Apollo’s rugged alphanumeric and numeric pagers, designed for uncompromising reliability in Hawaii’s healthcare, emergency response, and hospitality sectors.

What Apollo Solutions offer your operation

In an era of smartphones and two-way radios, why do the most critical industries still rely on pagers? The answer is simple: Unmatched reliability and signal penetration. When a hospital code is called, or a volunteer fire department is dispatched, the message simply cannot be delayed by a congested cellular network or a Wi-Fi dead zone. Apollo is a global leader in professional paging technology, manufacturing devices that operate on dedicated low-band, VHF, or UHF frequencies. These frequencies easily punch through multiple layers of concrete, lead-lined radiology walls, and subterranean parking garages where standard cell phones lose all signal.

At Starcomm Wireless, we deploy Apollo paging systems for Hawaiian hospitals, large-scale resorts, and industrial facilities that require absolute certainty that their urgent messages will be received instantly, every single time.

Alphanumeric Pagers

Apollo’s Alphanumeric pagers provide detailed, text-based messaging. They allow dispatchers or automated systems to send full sentences, specific addresses, patient codes, or detailed instructions directly to a user’s hip.

H-Series DMR Systems

Apollo AP-700 / Gold Series

The industry standard for alphanumeric paging. The AP-700 features a rugged, heavy-gauge polycarbonate housing and a large, high-contrast 4-line display that can display up to 84 characters at once. It is widely used by assisted living facilities, hospital staff, and hotel management for discrete, detailed messaging.

Apollo 924 Series

For users who need detailed text but prefer a smaller footprint. The 924 is a compact alphanumeric pager that offers the same brilliant 4-line display as the full-size models but in a housing that is nearly half the size. It is perfect for clinical staff or hospitality workers who need to stay informed without carrying bulky equipment.

Numeric Pagers

When simplicity and speed are the ultimate goals, Numeric pagers deliver. They provide a quick callback number or a pre-determined internal code (e.g., “Code 99”) so your staff knows exactly who to call or where to go immediately.

H-Series DMR Systems

Apollo 202 Series

A highly compact, side-read numeric pager. It features a bright, holographically-enhanced LCD screen and operates on a single AAA battery. It is an incredibly cost-effective solution for restaurant waitstaff, maintenance crews, and logistics teams who simply need a numeric prompt to take action.

Apollo XL2000

A classic, full-size top-read numeric pager. Built with durability in mind, it is drop-resistant and easily readable without having to unclip it from your belt. It is heavily favored by on-call technicians and security personnel.

Why partner with Starcomm Wireless for Apollo equipment?

Pagers are highly specialized equipment that must be integrated seamlessly into your existing dispatch or nurse-call systems.

  • System Integration: We don’t just supply the pagers; we build the network. Our engineers can integrate your Apollo pagers with your existing onsite paging transmitters, PBX phone systems, or automated facility alarm systems (like fire or door alarms).

  • Custom Frequency Programming: Apollo pagers are synthesized, meaning they can be custom-programmed to your specific, FCC-licensed UHF or VHF frequencies. We handle all the programming in-house so your pagers work flawlessly on your private network the moment they are handed to your staff.

     

  • Local Honolulu Service: When a pager gets dropped in a puddle or needs a new belt clip, you don’t need to ship it to the mainland. Starcomm Wireless provides on-island repairs, replacement parts, and rapid programming for fleet expansions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Apollo Pagers

Do Apollo pagers require a cellular or Wi-Fi connection?

No. This is their greatest advantage. Apollo pagers operate over independent Radio Frequency (RF) waves—typically VHF or UHF. They are completely immune to cell tower outages, internet drops, or commercial network congestion, making them the ultimate fail-safe communication tool during natural disasters or power outages.

Why do hospitals and resorts still use pagers instead of smartphones?

Two main reasons: signal penetration and battery life. The VHF/UHF frequencies used by pagers penetrate concrete basements, steel superstructures, and X-ray rooms much better than high-frequency cellular signals. Additionally, an Apollo pager can run for weeks or even months on a single standard AA or AAA battery, whereas a smartphone must be charged daily.

Can I send a page directly from my computer or phone system?

Yes. Depending on the transmitter and software system you have installed at your facility, Starcomm Wireless can configure your network so that dispatchers can type alphanumeric messages on a PC keyboard, or staff can dial a specific extension on an office phone to send a numeric page instantly.

Are these pagers durable enough for daily industrial use?

Absolutely. Apollo pagers are built with heavy-gauge polycarbonate plastics designed to withstand the drops and bumps of daily professional use. Several models are also UL-certified for use in hazardous locations, meaning they are intrinsically safe to operate around flammable gases or combustible dust.

Can Apollo pagers be programmed to vibrate instead of beep?

Yes. All Apollo professional pagers feature multiple alert modes. Users can easily switch between a loud audible tone (essential for noisy manufacturing floors) and a silent vibration mode (critical for quiet hospital wings, church services, or discrete security operations).

How far away will my Apollo pager work?

The range of your pagers depends on the power of the paging transmitter installed at your facility. Because they operate on dedicated radio frequencies, a standard onsite transmitter can easily blanket a large hospital, a concrete parking garage, or a high-rise hotel. For sprawling resort grounds, massive agricultural sites, or multi-building campuses across Hawaii, Starcomm Wireless can engineer high-power transmitters and optimized antenna systems to ensure your pages reach your staff even when they are miles away from the dispatch center.
