The long GRB 121011A (Swift/BAT trigger #535764; Racusin et al., GCN 13845;
Fermi-LAT detection: Ohno et al., GCN 13777) was detected by
the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range
of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 11:15:30.264 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a single peak structure starting
at T0-10 s, ending at T0+30 s with the total duration (T90) is about 31
seconds. The fluence of main pulse in 100 - 1000 keV was
4.70 (-0.15, +0.10) x 10^-6 erg/cm^2
The 1-s peak flux measured at T0-1.0 s was
0.41 (-0.31, +0.29) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-10 s
to T0+30 s is well fitted by by a single power-law with a photon index
of 1.61 (-0.14, +0.18) (chi^2/d.o.f = 20.4/25).
