Nokia has NSA rooms in their R&D offices. It's creepy.

They revealed that publicly? (Do you work for Nokia? (or the NSA?))
I think it's a misunderstanding. I found a couple of articles mentioning both Nokia and NSA, but here NSA stands for "Non-Standalone 5G network".

Here's a press release, for example: Nokia selected by Dedicado for 5G NSA network in Uruguay (https://www.nokia.com/about-us/news/releases/2022/12/08/noki...)

And a Linkedin profile (he must have a room in the office): Yuriy Pavlov - NSA Infrastructure Information Systems Manager. Nokia. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuriy-pavlov-1969904)

If he does, he probably does not anymore.
What's even creepier is that parent company also owns Github.
Microsoft purchased Nokia's Devices & Services division, and rebranded it as Microsoft Mobile. Nokia then pivoted to telecommunications infrastructure and IoT. So there's no longer a relationship between the two companies.
Also, the Nokia smartphone brand is licensed to HMD Global.
Yeah someone at Microsoft thought they could get Windows CE to run on the popular Nokia 3210. /s
ahh, the golden days when the smartphones that mattered ran Symbian and we thought Elop was going to be our Elon.
N900 ran linux and it mattered
Microsoft?
