A recent deadly bombing in Lebanon involving booby-trapped pagers and walkie-talkies has sparked an intense search for the origin of these devices, highlighting a murky market for older technologies. While supply chains for newer products are tightly managed, those for older electronics from Asia often lack transparency, making it difficult to trace their source.
Counterfeiting, surplus inventories, and complex manufacturing deals can obscure the origins of these products, according to analysts and consultants. The companies behind the suspected devices, Icom and a Europe-based licensee of its pager technology, have issued statements claiming that the exploded products were unlikely to be theirs. They cite investigations in several European countries and Lebanese officials' claims about counterfeit imports as evidence. While physical examination is needed for definitive confirmation, Icom believes the chances of their products being involved are “extremely low.” The incident underscores the challenges of tracking down the source of older electronics and the potential dangers posed by a compromised supply chain
