Abstract
We prove that the tunnel number of a satellite chain link with a number of components higher than or equal to twice the bridge number of the companion is as small as possible among links with the same number of components. We prove this result to be sharp for satellite chain links over a 2-bridge knot. We also observe that the links in the main result satisfy the genus versus rank conjecture.
