The bit (a portmanteau of binary digit) is a basic unit of information used in computing and digital communications.
A terabit is a multiple of the unit bit for digital information or computer storage. The prefix tera (symbol T) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 1012 (1 trillion, short scale), and therefore 1 terabit = 1012bits = 1 000 000 000 000 bits = 1000 gigabits.
The terabit has the unit symbol Tbit or Tb.
