Submarine cables in Solomon Islands

4 submarine cable landing points in Solomon Islands. View coordinates, connected cables, and detailed location info.

The Solomon Islands has four submarine cable landing points located in Auki, Honiara, Noro, and Taro. Honiara is the main hub, with all active cables landing there. The country is currently connected by two submarine cables, with one in service and another planned for future deployment.

The Coral Sea Cable System (CS²), operational since 2020, spans 4,700 kilometers and connects the Solomon Islands to Australia and Papua New Guinea. It is the longest active cable in the country. The Hawaiki Nui 1 cable, planned for service in 2027, is expected to extend 10,000 kilometers and link the Solomon Islands to Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, and Timor-Leste. The Coral Sea Cable System is owned by PNG DataCo Limited and the Solomon Island Submarine Cable Company, while Hawaiki Nui 1 is owned by BW Digital.

The primary internet service providers in the Solomon Islands are Solomon Telekom, Starlink, and Satsol. The country has a moderate resilience classification, meaning that while it has several cables and stations, losing a main station would significantly reduce capacity. One outage was recorded by GeoCables in the past 90 days, occurring on September 26, 2026.
