Eydhafushi is a landing point for submarine cables located in the Maldives, an island nation in the Indian Ocean. As a landing point serving three submarine cables, Eydhafushi sits among the more connected nodes in the Maldivian domestic submarine cable network. All three cables landing here connect exclusively to other points within the Maldives, establishing Eydhafushi as a participant in the country's internal inter-island connectivity infrastructure rather than an international gateway.
The three cables — the Dhiraagu Cable Network, the Nationwide Submarine Cable Ooredoo Maldives (NaSCOM), and the Domestic Submarine Cable of Maldives (DSCoM) — together represent two distinct operators and span different eras of domestic submarine cable development in the Maldives, with ready-for-service dates ranging from 2012 to 2024. Their combined presence makes Eydhafushi one of the more active inter-island cable hubs in the country.
The Dhiraagu Cable Network is 1,253 km in length and reached ready-for-service status in 2012. This cable connects landing points within the Maldives, forming part of the domestic submarine network operated under the Dhiraagu brand.
The Nationwide Submarine Cable Ooredoo Maldives (NaSCOM) spans 1,136 km and was ready for service in 2016. Like the Dhiraagu Cable Network, it interconnects landing points entirely within the Maldives, reflecting the parallel development of domestic submarine cable capacity by a second major operator in the country.
The Domestic Submarine Cable of Maldives (DSCoM) is the most recent of the three cables, reaching ready-for-service status in 2024. At 286 km, it is considerably shorter than the other two cables at this landing point and also connects landing points within the Maldives, representing a newer addition to the domestic inter-island cable layer.
Among the 17 submarine cable landing points in the Maldives, Eydhafushi ranks in the top 94% by cable count, hosting three cables alongside peers such as Hithadhoo and Kulhudhufushi, which also host three cables each. Hulhumale leads the country's landing points with seven cables, while Eydhafushi sits comfortably above landing points such as Dhangethi, Maafushi, and Malé, each of which hosts two cables.
Eydhafushi functions as a multi-cable inter-island landing point within the Maldivian domestic submarine cable graph. With cables from two separate operators — Dhiraagu and Ooredoo Maldives — as well as the newer DSCoM system, the landing point is served by infrastructure laid across more than a decade of domestic network expansion. All three cables operate exclusively within Maldivian waters, meaning Eydhafushi's role is focused on connecting dispersed island communities across the archipelago rather than linking the country to international submarine systems.
The presence of three cables at Eydhafushi, drawn from different operators and different periods of deployment, positions this landing point as a meaningful node in the redundancy and reach of the Maldives' domestic submarine network, contributing to inter-island connectivity across one of the world's most geographically distributed nations.
