From what we know of the attacks, the pagers that were targeted were a part of a shipment of 3000 pagers purchased by Hezbollah for distribution to members and affiliates. The pagers that were ordered were branded Gold Apollo, mostly model AR924, with a smattering of others. The order was processed through a Hungarian company called BAC Consulting, who was licensed to produce the pagers in Europe. That company, in turn, subcontracts out production to yet another company, and that is where a lot of journalists have lost the trail. It is likely that the radios have a similarly complex supply chain.

For this to be possible, a large number of conditions need to line up, and seem to have in this context.
