from a practical point of view, FRS/GSM radios are used by a lot of people, but
legally those services are not legal for you to use for any business purpose.
Business band radios are significantly more expensive and require licensing (or
renting from a company that deals with the licensing)
radios can be cheap, it's the licensing that gets expensive. You can spend a lot
of money on radios, but unless you have very special needs you shouldn't need to
go there. Even business band radios can be <$40 each for ones that will do what
you are needing.
I would actually suggest that if you have a wifi network, IP phones (either
hardware phones or software phones running on your smartphone) would be a better
thing to look into.
The only problem is that those will not work if your network is broken enough or
power outages take you down.

It's me and another guy running around on two floors.
I'd be grateful to hear about convenient features, what to avoid, etc.
