By "Interphone", do you mean a local voice and/or video system 
that doesn't connect to the general Internet?

As for your environmental requirements: does it have to operate
at -40, or just survive it for a few hours before warming back
up? Very few electronic devices are guaranteed to work below 0C.

I would suggest building a small insulated box to hold your
electronics, along with an incandescent lightbulb to provide
both light and heat. 

For general voice use, I like the Polycom IP3xx series. Their
video phones, however, are either very expensive or else consist
of a voice phone with a USB camera glued to the top.
