Waze is bringing an innovative piece of technology to Malaysian roads. Specifically, the country's underground road systems.

The navigation app just announced that they're working with the Malaysian government to implement Bluetooth beacons - which they are calling Waze Beacons - across the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) highway and basement roads leading to car parks in the area.

The company will provide Bluetooth signals to improve navigation where GPS signals are limited, increase driver safety, and better visibility of real-time traffic events.

CEO of TRX City Sdn Bhd. Dato’ Azmar Talib said, "We are thrilled to partner with Waze, to be the first in Southeast Asia to put Waze Beacons to the test. Our underground roads are an ideal test ground as they lead out to key exits, and we look forward to enhancing TRX’s level of services. Ensuring seamless connectivity is critical to support TRX’s status as an international financial hub."

On the other hand, Head of the Waze Beacons Program Gil Disatnik said, "The Waze team and I are pleased to bring the Waze Beacons Program to Malaysia, the first Southeast Asian country to adopt the technology.

"Seamless navigation can be enjoyed in TRX when its underground roads are open to the public, but this is just the beginning and we hope to expand into more areas nationwide across Malaysia soon. No matter the navigation apps used, Waze Beacons technology is open and free to use, and we ultimately hope to empower road users to outsmart traffic together.”

Waze has promised that these beacons will not collect any data and it could aid other navigations apps to navigate drivers where there are usually none or weak signals.

These beacons have been launched in 2016 in countries like the U.S., Brazil, France, Italy, Australia, Norway, the Czech Republic, and covers about 260KM of tunnels and roadways worldwide.

Malaysia will serve as a pilot-test for the beacons and is the first country in Southeast Asia to to try it out. The project will eventually scale to other parts of Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur.
