"Cell phones", per se, work on the concept of "the subscriber" equipment
(popularly now coined simply as 'the cell phone') working within the
coverage area or 'cellular footprint'  of fixed infrastructure equipment
which
provides the  interconnection and switching back into the PSTN (Public
Switched Telephone Network).

How about coining this particular type of operation in a 'phone' as a
"Node to node phone" or more simply as a "Node phone" since the
topology is more in the form of a none- to-node mode?

BTW - I have seen RF/wireless alarm system sensor that operate in this
manner - each sensor also capable of 'relaying' it's bretheren's signals
onward toward the control unit.

The phones would try to route data through each other until they get to some
sort of internet gateway. The phone could have a rs232 interface for PDAs
and such. I want to make this as cheaply as possible.
