The Q52 is a new product that Wavecom has placed on the market. The Q52 is Dual Modem that can transmit data via GPRS or via Orbcomm. The Communication and data transmission via GPRS i can do it using commands WIPAT like with a Q24 Modem, but communication and data transmission via Orbcomm i do not know how to do it using a sequence of commands through hyperterminal on a PC.
The idea is to use a microcontroller that controls the application completely.
I’ve researched the following documents:
*AT_Commands_Manual
*Development_Kit_User_Guide
*Getting_Started
*Open_AT_Application_Development_Guide
*SpeccificationsDesog_Guide_Hardware
*User_Guide-Software
*Wavecomm Open AT Plugs-Ins
anyone has experience with this module?
Where can I find a document containing the information I need?
“Since this is a difficult protocol to generate during the early evaluation of the Q52, the user has two alternatives to writing software to generate binary messages:”
Using Orbperform… is program PC (but if want use a microcontrollers???)
Orbcomm AT Interface… The AT commands are not yet fully documented by Wavecom. This is underway now (AT+APITEST=…
There are several documentation about the Q52 omni in the download section of the Wavecom site ( quik family-> q52 omin -> downloads ). Did you see it?
There is also an Open AT libary ( “Q52 Omni library” ) to use the Q52 Orbcomm feature through Open AT.
Hi tom,
thanks Tom
I saw it… Trought Open AT using libraries inside of module
but my application is external. i am controlling all with a microcontroller… the GPRS comunication is not a Problem because i can use ATWIP commmands by the serial port…
for Orbcomm comunication also there similar commands like: AT+APITEST=213,(mha),(6-byte-data) SendReport
but this command does not have a formal documentation… the commands are Orbcomm propietary
at the moment I am contacting people Orbcomm for full description and determine whether it can be done like in the GPRS communication

Hi Ivan,
I saw that you started working with the Q52 module, I recently started to test it as well but I have been having problems. Could you use the application that comes with the kit?, I mean the one that you have to send AT+APITEST commands in order to communicate with the Orbcomm modem. When I try to use that application each AT+APITEST command returns a -11 which it means timeout, did you have the same problem? How did you fix it? Do you know if I have to configure something else in order to make that application work?
Hi How are you?
where are you from? i can say you the next:
also remember end any comand with the caracter {0D} for example AT+APITEST=101{0D}
I think that you are receiving -11 is because you are not writing the comand completely.
where and who you buy the Q52?
I recommend contacting your provider to accompany you on way.
Like somebody tell me: “Welcome to the wonderfull world of cutting edge technology”
hi ivan,
i want add some question in here.
i have downloaded the Q52 plug in gcc_Q52OmniSoft_1MB+.wpb.dwl and it make the AT command like AT+PCFG, AT+FORMAT works (AT Command in Q52_Omni_AT_Commands_Manual-Rev005). However, it couldn’t provide AT+APITEST yet.
aiming to use AT+APITEST=, how does the procedure ?
is it right:
i build the application in M2M studio with all file in “inc” folder as header file and “src” folder as source code ?
