The University of Hawai‘i System is a member of eduroam.
Eduroam is an international community comprising university and college institutions with an agreement to share network resources with all its members as they travel around the world. This allows individuals from participating schools who visit the University of Hawaii--whether on business or pleasure--to be able to get a secure Wi-Fi network connection using their own campus login username/password.
The one-time setup takes a bit of time, so please see setup instructions. (Set-up instructions are for various operating systems.)
