Evo 2 Enterprise phones home

[frame]

It seems that at least with Evo 2 Enterprise Autel SmartController actively "phones home" when drone is connected and SmartController has internet via wifi hotspot. Communication goes to Autel server that is located in AWS and it happens over https VERY frequently (1-3s interval or so). Let me make it absolutely clear - this communication happens while NOT logged into Autel account in Autel Explorer app.

I think Autel needs to clarify it asap - what data is collected and why. I don't recall Autel stating publicly that their drones phone home.

Too early to say - Im just saying atm that there is a quite active communication going on between Autel server (app.autelrobotics.com) and the drone/controller - and this communication seems to cool down when drone gets powered down/disconnected.

As a side remark - Autel Robotics is a Chinese company - just like DJI. Just with the office in US.
