Can one OpenBCI mainboard serve multiple wireless clients?

Apparently a typical wireless configuration for the OpenBCI mainboard is to plug in a USB dongle to ones laptop so that the dongle can receive RF signals from the OpenBCI headset.

What I am wondering is: can multiple (active) USB RF dongles read the same stream of biodata from a single OpenBCI mainboard? Meaning, can I be wearing the headset and "broadcasting" my EEG biodata to multiple "client dongles", or is each dongle somehow synched with 1-and-only-1 specific mainboard?

    Dongle and mainboard RFduinos must have matching channel numbers. This number is printed on the mainboard packaging.

    Only one pair of RFduinos per channel.

    Use the search box at lower right for LabStreamingLayer if you want to distribute the same EEG data stream to mulitple laptops. It handles distribution as well as timing synchronization.
