The GRB 110207A (Swift/BAT trigger #444912 ; Littlejohns et al., GCN 11658;
Palmer et al., GCN 11664) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor
(WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 2011/02/07
11:17:20.05 UT (=T0).

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure lasting from T0-0.2s
to T0+3.2s with a duration (T90) of about 2.9 seconds. The fluence in 100 -
1000 keV was 5.98 (+/-0.54) x 10^-7 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak flux measured
from T0+0.32s was 0.27 (+/-0.06) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.2s to
T0+3.2s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index of 1.53
(-0.24, +0.29) (chi^2/d.o.f = 34.22/34).

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