Probably referring to the Bloomberg Terminal [0] as in the hardware/software product that offers real-time economic data and enables a large portion of the market’s electronic trading.

It's a computer Bloomberg produces with access to data, news, and tools used by workers in the finance industry. A subscription for one is around $20,000 per year, and there are currently 100,000s of active subscriptions.
