Are the buying ALF, cause from what I understood they are only buying the LTI part of the business.

It looks like they took over the LTI side of the business, the articles mention nothing about buying ALF or taking it over. It looks like they bought a piece of the company.

Again, smeal bought LTI, which was a company owned by ALF. As I understand it, LTI makes the physical aeriel device that goes on the truck. It's like if dodge goes out of business tomorrow and ford buys the company that made the dodge motors.
