> In the article the say accuracy is coming down to 1m vs 3-5 for other GPS

In which areas?

I don't get something you have satellites of glonass, gps and beidou what's stopping anyone from getting better accuracy using all 3 at the same time.

because they are independent systems; they cannot communicate triangulation data between themselves

Isn't the triangulation being done on the phone/device GPS chip ? The same chip is doing it for all 3 services. The chip gets the data of the satellite positions and then shows its location in relation to them that how I thought gps/other systems worked.
