My personal opinion is, that there is no need for Q26 Ultra at all. The data transfer speed is barely above the EDGE. What is needed in the near future is a HSPDA module. ( Let’s call it Q26 extreme… ) It looks like the 3G coverage is rapidly progressing in Europe and new EU regulations is coming to reduce the data roaming prices, so it will be a little unfortunate if Wavecom can’t provide a stable HSPDA platform with Open AT in about 2 years time.
I know there are rumours about the Q26 extreme, which took a completly different approach. What i understand from the little information we have, it’s going to be a Q2687 like module with an Icera HSPDA modem. I rather prefer the traditional approach, developing the Fastrack line from a compact WCPU family, like in case of the old Fastrack and the new Fastrack Supreme ( actually just creating a minimal board around the WCPU and putting in a solid case ) . It’s just my opinion, though.
