Walkie Talkie and Pagers in the news headlines when thousands of pagers used by members of the militant group Hezbollah were detonated simultaneously in Lebanon and Syria, killing at least 12 people andAbout 3,000 were injured.But many teenagers today don’t even know what pagers and walkie talkie are.Because smart mobile phones now rule the world, pagers, also known as ‘beepers‘, have not only declined in demand since the 1990s, but have largely become obsolete.

According to Government of Lebanese security sources and another source, the explosives inside the devices were planted by Israel’s Mossad spy agency, Reuters said.Israel has not made an official statement.
Patchers are still an very important means and topics of telecommunication in some sectors, such as healthcare/medical and emergency services, and their friendly, durability efficiency and long battery life are also the main reasons why they are not obsolete.
So what is the main role of Pager and Walkie Talkie in normal life?
“It’s the very cheapest and very effective way to deliver messages to large numbers of people that don’t require a response,” said a senior surgeon at a major United Kingdom hospital.He also said that pagers are very commonly used by stuff like doctors and nurses in the United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS).“They are used to tell when, where and what to take.”
According to the United Kingdom Government Officials, the National Health Service (NHS) there was using around about 130,000 pagers in late 2019, which means more than one in every 10 pagers in the world.No more up to date, data is available.
There, doctors working in the hospital’s emergency department carry pagers when they are on call.
A senior National Health Service (NHS) doctor said many pagers could also send sirens and broadcast voice messages in multiple groups so that all related medical teams could be alerted to an emergency at the same time. We thinks it is not possible to do this with a mobile phone.
United KingdomRoyal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) uses pagers to alert its crew, a source familiar with the lifeboat service told Reuters. United Kingdom The Royal National Lifeboat Institution declined to any comment.

Pagers can be harder to track than smartphones because they lack advanced navigation technologies like Global Positioning System, you can called it GPS.
This kind of facility made them a popular choice among gangster and criminals in the past, especially drug dealers in the United States of America.
But former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Ken Gray told us that criminal groups are increasingly using advance technology devices and mobile phones these days.
“I don’t know if anyone uses them (walkie talkie and pagers),” he said.“They all carry cell phones, burner phones” that can be too easily destroyed and replaced with another cell phone with a different number, making them very difficult to trace.
Ken Gray, who served 24 years in the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and now teaches criminal justice and homeland security at the University of New Haven, said criminals have too much changed with time and modern technology.
According to Cognitive Market Research, the around the world pager market, once a major source of big revenue for tech companies like Motorola, is estimated to be worth $1.6 billion in 2023.
However, this is a little small fraction of the around the world smartphone market, which is estimated to be around about half a trillion US dollars by the end of 2023.
But the demand for walkie talkie and pagers is increasing as the too large patient population demands greater need for more effective and friendly communication in the medical healthcare sector.Pagers are predicted to grow by 5.9 percent from 2023 to 2030, the report said.
