Chindini is a village located on Grande Comore (Ngazidja), the largest island of the Comoros archipelago in the Indian Ocean. As a submarine cable landing point, it connects to two submarine cable systems, making it one of the more active landing points in the country. The cables landing at Chindini serve both inter-island domestic connectivity within the Comoros and a short regional link to the French territory of Mayotte.
The two cables landing at Chindini represent a combination of domestic and near-regional submarine infrastructure. The Avassa cable links Chindini to Mayotte, establishing a direct connection between Comoros and its neighboring island territory, while the Comoros Domestic Cable System serves inter-island connectivity within the Comoros archipelago itself. Together, these systems make Chindini a point where both internal and outward-facing submarine routes converge on Grande Comore.
The Avassa cable is a 260-kilometre system with a ready-for-service (RFS) date of 2016, currently listed in draft status. It connects landing points within Comoros and Mayotte, providing a direct submarine link between the Comorian island group and the nearby French territorial island. At 260 km, it is a short regional cable suited to the relatively close proximity of Mayotte to Grande Comore.
The Comoros Domestic Cable System has an RFS date of 2010, also in draft status, and connects landing points within the Comoros exclusively. It represents the earliest submarine cable infrastructure associated with Chindini and serves the purpose of linking the individual islands of the Comoros to one another via an undersea route. No cable length is recorded for this system.
Among the four submarine cable landing points in the Comoros, Chindini ranks alongside Mutsamudu in hosting two cables each, placing it in the upper tier of the country's landing points by cable count. Moroni, the capital, leads with four cables, while Fomboni Moheli hosts a single cable. Chindini's two-cable presence positions it as a secondary but meaningful node within the national submarine cable footprint.
Chindini functions as a two-cable landing point on Grande Comore, enabling both domestic inter-island connectivity through the Comoros Domestic Cable System and a regional link toward Mayotte via the Avassa cable. Rather than a single-cable terminus, it represents a modest multi-cable hub on the main island of the Comoros, handling traffic flows that are distinctly local and near-regional in scope rather than intercontinental.
Within the broader Comorian submarine cable graph, Chindini's role on Grande Comore complements the more internationally connected infrastructure at Moroni, ensuring that the island has redundant submarine routes and a direct territorial link to Mayotte alongside the domestic inter-island system.
