Yeah, from announcement of HTC to Taiwan's stock exchange,

Google buys HTC's Pixel team, license to HTC's IP, and a RF lab (Subsidiary of HTC) for 1.1 billion USD.

Someone has made a terrible deal, and the other an awesome deal. But we will only be certain in one year.

It is impossible something like this be good to both, losing 100 people that have worked on the best project that the company has worked in the last years.

Or overpaid for just some people that are not soo great, as they thought.

Best? The Pixel is good, but it's hardly the best thing HTC has done.

HTC still has the Vive team.

A simple Google search failed me, maybe I don't know what I am looking for, but now I am at the mercy of the internet when I ask...

What is a RF Lab?

Re:Google signs agreement with HTC by ytch on Thursday September 21, 2017 @09:49PM (#15308841)
It's a Lab for Testing about radio, something like TRP, TIS, LTE OTA test and so on.

I would guess RF = radio frequency, so a lab dealing with cellular chips
