The Oracle Utilities Network Management System MultiSpeak Adapter provides a reliable and configurable way of connecting MultiSpeak-compliant AMR, AVL, and SCADA systems to the Oracle Utilities Network Management System. The interface connects to the AMR systems by use of MultiSpeak-compliant SOAP/XML calls over the HTTPS protocol. JMS queues can also be used as the transport mechanism. The interface connects to the Oracle Utilities Network Management System through direct database access using JDBC and by use of a CORBA connection through the Oracle Utilities Network Management System Web Gateway.
