Kulhudhufushi is a landing point for submarine cables located in the Maldives, an island nation in the Indian Ocean. Three submarine cables come ashore here, making it one of the more connected landing points in the country. Among the cables landing at Kulhudhufushi, the PEACE Cable stands out as the most internationally reaching system, linking the Maldives to destinations across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Western Europe.
The combination of cables at Kulhudhufushi spans two distinct connectivity corridors. The PEACE Cable enables long-haul intercontinental links, connecting Kulhudhufushi to countries including Pakistan, Egypt, Cyprus, Malta, Kenya, and France. The two remaining cables — the Dhiraagu Cable Network and NaSCOM — are domestic systems that interconnect islands within the Maldives itself, supporting intra-national connectivity across the archipelago.
PEACE Cable is a 25,000 km international submarine cable system that reached ready-for-service status in 2022. In addition to Kulhudhufushi in the Maldives, the PEACE Cable connects Cyprus, Egypt, France, Kenya, Malta, and Pakistan, forming a route that spans from East Africa through the Middle East and South Asia into Western Europe.
Dhiraagu Cable Network is a domestic submarine cable measuring 1,253 km in length, which entered service in 2012. This system connects landing points within the Maldives, providing inter-island cable infrastructure across the country's dispersed atolls.
Nationwide Submarine Cable Ooredoo Maldives (NaSCOM) is a 1,136 km domestic submarine cable that became ready for service in 2016. Like the Dhiraagu Cable Network, NaSCOM connects points entirely within the Maldives, extending submarine cable reach to additional islands throughout the archipelago.
Within the Maldives, submarine cable infrastructure is distributed across 17 landing points, with Hulhumale hosting the greatest number of cables at seven. Kulhudhufushi, with three cables, sits alongside Eydhafushi and Hithadhoo — both of which also host three cables — placing it among the upper tier of landing points in the country by cable count. This positions Kulhudhufushi among the more connected nodes in the national submarine cable network, ranking in the top 94% of Maldivian landing points.
Kulhudhufushi functions as both a domestic and international cable terminus. The two domestic cables — Dhiraagu Cable Network and NaSCOM — demonstrate that Kulhudhufushi serves as a node in the intra-Maldivian connectivity framework, linking it to other islands across the country. The PEACE Cable extends this role considerably further, giving Kulhudhufushi a direct intercontinental connection to six other countries spanning East Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Western Europe.
As a landing point that combines both domestic inter-island systems and a major long-haul international cable, Kulhudhufushi represents a dual-function node in the Maldivian submarine cable graph — one that bridges local archipelago connectivity with broader international reach.
