PowWow

• Openhardware project
• At Wikipedia
• Project page (France)
• MSP430-board + CC2420EB-Reference-Design-Board + Contiki based firmware
• All needed files are open and downloadable
• Motherboard contains MSP430F1611 and no other special part
• RF-board is a TI reference board available at $122 the pair +antennas at digikey
• CC2420EM board at TI. Schematics and Gerber files are available

From Wikipedia:
PowWow uses RICER[3] protocol proposed by UC Berkeley to reduce the time spent in radio reception (RX) mode. 
This protocol consists in cycled rendez-vous initiated by a wake-up beacon from potential receivers. 
Thanks to this method, nodes are sleeping most of the time, hence saving energy.

• CC2500 and CC2400 Compatibility bit mentioned to this document: Wincent Balin Contiki OS port for ez430-RF2500 mentioned [here]
• Difference between CC2500 and CC2420. CC2500 is not 802.15.4
• TinyOS wiki CC1100/CC2500

The CC1100/CC1101/CC2500 radios are pin and driver compatible. Dual-radio platforms are easily achievable, and exist today.

SquidBee

• An Arduino+Xbee openhardware supported by Libelium
• It is an Arduino-Shield for XBee designed by Libelium.
• ArduinoFIO does the same with better form factor but software how-to from Libelium is still useful.
