i.e. each phone has a wi-fi access point built in, so doesn't require a hard wire connection.
I'm not wanting to use them to connect to the outside PSTN, but simply to work as an internal, wireless, extension
so that I can call someone at the far end of the building where there isn't a normal extension phone, but there is Wi-Fi.

This is a set of 4...
If you read the spec. you will see there are quite a number of "channels" available, plus "sub-channels" so you could start off with 4 and then buy another 4 and use whatever channels you wanted.

The T80 Extreme model allows you to create groups, so you can make calls to your whole team or a group of people.
Every member of the group has an ID and can see the name of the group on the screen display.
This version comes with vibrate alert so you can work without distractions. The voice activation function makes it even more practical.

Battery Life using the NiMh batteries they supply is 16 hours....
so if you bought some good quality 2500 or larger capacity batteries.. I am sure they would last a working day, and a bit more.... then put them on the charger overnight.. ready for the next day....

I know you can get them for phoning out to the PSTN, but hadn't seen any that would work on a local network.

Obviously that depends on your budget, and if budget allows you could set up a mini SIP server (think Raspberry Pi budget) so it can be done without any "internet" connectivity at all.

Then configure each base-station with separate free "Sipgate basic" accounts.
You could then call each way for free (as Sipgate to Sipgate), also both handsets could also make cheap external calls if necessary.

Quote from: Kevin Unfortunately the building has many thick walls and DECT phones won't cut it, hence why I was enquiring about Wi-Fi phones.
I know you can get them for phoning out to the PSTN, but hadn't seen any that would work on a local network.
That's why I also suggested long-range DECT, which have more powerful transceivers that can get through large buildings and thick walls with ease, Panasonic does some pretty good ones, heck, even their standard DECT phones are pretty damned good at long-range-through-thick-walls service from experience of my working in a computer shop that resided inside a thick-walled ex-church...

I suggested DECT phones because phones were what were asked about, not walkie talkies...

"Mary, Can you come to the office, and bring a box of samples, and the invoices, please"....
I`m sure that industrial spies will be sitting around in their car all day long, just waiting for that interesting piece of information.....
