The new site will allow existing developers in the current forum to upgrade their account to have access to a developer extranet of the main Wavecom site (official details on how to do this will be posted in the forum on or around the first week of December). > > 2. New develoeprs will be be able to create a new account that has unified credentials that provides access to be the forum and the extranet. Login and account creation links have been placed very visibly on the new homepage. > > 3. Most significantly, there will be no arbitration of who can/cannot create an account and the whole account creation process is automatic and instant. You only need to provide a valid business email address to receive your account credentials. > > 4. Developers with an extranet account will have unprecidented (and rightfully so) direct access to documents - intended for developers! This will include: > > - Latest hardware specifications and design guidelines > - Latest Open AT Software Suite (formerly known as the Open AT SDK) > - Product Certificates > - Application Notes, some with source code for larger apps > - Multimedia presentations > - Product flyers & photos > > 1. There will also be a new Developer Zone which Wavecom intends to expand over the months following hte initial launch and we encourage developers to tell us what you need in that zone. > > I hope you will be please with the changes! > > Taking your other points: > > (a) Roadmap: There is no plan to make a roadmap publicised in a public place. When a company is in a leadership position, this is not seen as a bright move. But, see point (c) below. > > (b) Technical support: Technical support will continue to be provided via the Wavecom value-added distribution channel. There are literally 10’s of thousands of customers worldwide and that’s why the distribution model works most efficiently. However, I’m sure you can appreciate than many problems have been solved in the forum cummunity and note also that there is a feedback loop back in to Wavecom to correct documentation and product improvements that are seen on the site. > > (c) Access to Wavecom R&D is something that has been started on a small scale just recently. The Wavecom Developer Think Tank started a few months ago and takes ~10 of the most knowledgeable Open AT developers and brings them to Paris to enjoy the sights, food & wine, in addition to sharing roadmap information, trying new products before they are released and even getting to sit in front of Wavecom developers creating the products you work on. This runs 2 times per year and is full for the next session but if you’d like to be considered, drop me a personal message with your name, company, country, products you have developed and with what Wavecom products. Thank you very much for this information. I’m looking forward to the launch of this new website. ---

The site is up at last. Yay. Some problems with the Downloads section though, but I guess those will be fixed soon enough. Right now I have noticed two problems; 1. Need to change the domain part of the URL 2. Large files (like the SDKs) gives some PHP error because they’re too large Content wise, I’m going to wait before commenting upon, as I guess the download sections are still being populated. ---

I can’t see the DWLWin download on any of the modules I’ve checked in the downloads section… As xmas is closing in, it doesn’t matter that much to me right now, but in january it would be nice if more downloads are available. ---

> [@tobias](#): > > I can’t see the DWLWin download on any of the modules I’ve checked in the downloads section… Ah - so at least I’m ahead there, then! 8) I’m finding it from the Products page, [wavecom.com/modules/movie/scenes/products/](http://www.wavecom.com/modules/movie/scenes/products/) then choose a member of the ‘Wireless CPU Family’ in the left-hand (green) column; eg, ‘New Q24 Series’, [wavecom.com/modules/movie/sc … Q24\_Series](http://www.wavecom.com/modules/movie/scenes/products/index.php?fuseAction=wirelessCPU&productName=New_Q24_Series) then go to the ‘Downloads’ tab, [wavecom.com/modules/movie/sc … Q24\_Series](http://www.wavecom.com/modules/movie/scenes/products/index.php?fuseAction=downloads&productName=New_Q24_Series) and it’s under ‘Tools’ ---

I have checked the Downloads section for Q2686 and New Q24 Series. For New Q24 Series, I can see things like the 3.17 SDK download, but in the Tools section there is only an empty DWL WIN (GSM) and some other empty folders. For Q2686, the Tools section is populated with the same folders but here the Development toolkit folder have two zip’s that I can download. DWL WIN folder is again empty. I don’t know why I can’t see it (tried in both Firefox and IE7) and I’m certainly not happy about it. ---

The only thing that might be different for our accounts is that I have not marked that I’m a certified developer (because I haven’t attended the course, and from what I’ve read about it online, I’m not sure if there’s much I could learn from taking it). Have you attended this course, and marked that you’re certified? If Wavecom requires anything more than registering (upgrade from old forum), they are certainly keeping it hidden. ---

I have a few older Fastrack modems I need firmware, instructions, etc. Seems this update site doesn’t have the info I’m looking for. I’m actually really sad on this one as my development notebook was stolen - I had all the downloads I needed on their. NO BACKUP as I though the main [wavecom.com](http://wavecom.com) site would always be there for me. ---

> [@](#): > > videodrome said: I have a few older Fastrack modems I need firmware, instructions, etc. Seems this update site doesn’t have the info I’m looking for. The intention was certainly to port all existing articles from the old site to the new site and not loose anything. There were more than 2,000 so I’m sure some may have “escaped” during that huge move so if you know of some, email the [webmaster@wavecom.com](mailto:webmaster@wavecom.com). However, I can see many SDK for the M1306 under the archives for that device and perhaps what you need is there? Go to the Product map: [http://www.wavecom.com/modules/movie/scenes/products/](http://www.wavecom.com/modules/movie/scenes/products/) Click on “Obsolete products” at the bottom right of the page. (Is this hard to find? Perhaps it should be on these device home pages for Plug & Play + Quik?) [http://www.wavecom.com/modules/movie/scenes/products/index.php?fuseAction=article&rubric=products&article=products\_quikSeries](http://www.wavecom.com/modules/movie/scenes/products/index.php?fuseAction=article&rubric=products&article=products_quikSeries) [http://www.wavecom.com/modules/movie/scenes/products/index.php?fuseAction=article&rubric=products&article=products\_plugAndPlaySeries](http://www.wavecom.com/modules/movie/scenes/products/index.php?fuseAction=article&rubric=products&article=products_plugAndPlaySeries) Click M1306 (I can see the last version of the M1306 user guide is missing so will get that corrected). Click Archives (top right of this page). Expand “Open AT software Suite / Software Development Kit” Does it help? ---

> [@](#): > > tobias said: If Wavecom requires anything more than registering (upgrade from old forum), they are certainly keeping it hidden. No. There is nothing else to do. Certified Developer is purely a flag to indicate that status in the forum and is not related to any permissions for access. ---

I just checked again… Still no DWLWin available for download… When can we expect DWLWin to show up? Or the documentation for Q26 Ultra? New firmware for Q2686? (Still waiting for fixes to serious issues that we have reported and got ticket number for) A better question is maybe, what things SHOULD be available for download already, and if for example DWLWin already SHOULD be there, why can I not access it? ---

So… Almost two months since the new developer website “opened”… Much was promised, but at least I am still waiting for content to show up… 1. - Latest hardware specifications and design guidelines Where’s the documents for Q26 Ultra? 2. - Latest Open AT Software Suite (formerly known as the Open AT SDK) Replace Latest with Outdated for at least Q26 (latest I can see is 4.22a) and it fits better, considering several issues have been known about for months… 3. - Application Notes, some with source code for larger apps Mostly old documents of little value if you work on newer modules… And shouldn’t information about parameter values like those used together with AT+ECHO=… on 6.6x be there, as they’re not described in the AT manual? ---
