You need a screen, a keyboard, and a mouse to control a satellite*. And a whole heap of clever computer stuff and some very impressive antennae etc as well but they don't have to be in the same place as you, and that's the point: you could work from home just as well as at the office.
*most people anyway, there are some who have other ways to do what's needed.
