The short, IPN localized GRB 121011B (Golenetskii et al., GCN 13863)

triggered the Suzaku Wide-band  All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an
energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 22:32:22.753 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows  a single peak structure starting at
T0 s, ending at T0+0.5 s,  with a duration (T90) of about 0.28 seconds.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 1.21 (-0.07, +0.15) x 10^-6 erg/cm^2
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0-0.5s  was 2.10 (-0.26, +0.15)
photons/cm^2/s in the same  energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0 to
T0+0.5s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model:
   dN/dE ~  E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
   alpha       0.45 (-0.59, +0.50), and
   Epeak       810 (-139, 229) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 31.1/24).

We also shows the results with the same spectrum fitted by a GRB Band
model,
the low-energy photon index alpha: -0.39 (-0.53, +0.68),
the high-energy photon index beta: <-2.33
and the peak energy Epeak: 778 (-163, +237) keV
(chi^2/d.o.f = 30.3/23).

All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
