sectorize

Split into zones

To sectorize is to divide something into sectors—distinct areas or zones for purposes of organization, management, or analysis.

The term appears most often in technical contexts: urban planners sectorize cities for zoning, military strategists sectorize territories for command, and telecommunications engineers sectorize cell coverage areas to improve signal quality.

The network was sectorized to reduce interference between towers.
