The Oracle Utilities Network Management System MultiSpeak Adapter provides the ability to request and receive meter status information from an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system, to receive crew location information from an Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) system, and to communicate with SCADA systems. The interface uses communication protocols as defined in MultiSpeak Version 4.1 Web Services specification. (SOAP protocol version 1.1 is used unless otherwise noted.) HTTP/HTTPS protocol is used as transport mechanism. It allows Oracle Utilities Network Management System to communicate securely with any MultiSpeak-compliant AMR, AVL, or SCADA system. In addition to HTTP/HTTPS, communication can be done over JMS.

The Oracle Utilities Network Management System MultiSpeak Adapter is implemented as a Java application, running on the Oracle WebLogic Server platform. The URL for accessing web services deployed by the Oracle Utilities Network Management System MultiSpeak Adapter differs depending on the SOAP version that is used by the client.
